1. A method of determining a storage node for a Network Element (NE) by an electronic device in a communication network, the method comprising:
detecting addition of a NE to a plurality of NEs, wherein each of the plurality of NEs is dynamically allocated to a virtualization unit of a plurality of virtualization units;
obtaining information associated with a plurality of storage nodes and information associated with the NE, upon detecting the addition of the NE to the plurality of NEs, wherein the plurality of storage nodes is located in the communication network and configured to store data associated with the plurality of NEs; and
determining a storage node from the plurality of storage nodes for the NE, based on the information associated with the plurality of storage nodes and the information associated with the NE,
wherein the virtualization unit of the plurality of virtualization units allocated to each of the plurality of NEs is updated upon selection of the storage node for the NE, and
wherein the virtualization unit allocated to each of the plurality of NEs comprises a content management table updated based on the virtualization unit corresponding to the NE receiving a notification.
