A virtual server for executing a communication process is implemented on virtualization resources without being inefficient even when different virtualization resource management schemes are included. A management system included in a mobile communication system is configured to include an NFVI which is virtualization resources including a physical server in which a VNF to execute a communication process is generated and includes a VNFM for managing the VNF, a VIM for managing the virtualization resources of the NFVI, and an orchestrator for managing all the virtualization resources of the NFVI, wherein the orchestrator includes a virtual server generation request section configured to input detailed information for implementing the VNF retained by the VNFM, rewrite the input detailed information according to a virtualization resource management scheme by the VIM, and request the VIM to generate the VNF.
