According to one embodiment, a broadcast-contents management apparatus includes a plurality of network interface modules, a plurality of storage modules and a controller. The plurality of network interface modules connect with an information processing apparatus including functions relating to process on contents data. The plurality of storage modules store the contents data sent from the information processing apparatus. The controller monitors or controls the plurality of network interface modules and the plurality of storage modules. The controller includes a selector. The selector selects a combination of a network interface module and a storage module to use, based on use statuses of the plurality of network interface modules and the plurality of storage modules or based on a preset condition, when the controller performs process on the contents data. The selector performs the process on contents data by the selected combination.
