Software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV) are complementary technologies that provide new solutions to design, build and operate cloud computer network. SDN and NFV enable software-driven service chain named Service Function Chain (SFC), a technology controlling the traffic flow to the appropriate applications and delivering an abstract sequenced set of service functions according to the various service requirements. This paper designed a SFC resource management system to improve the availability of the SFC and increase the utilization of service functions. Advantages of the proposed system are resource efficiency, high availability, and flexibility.
