Abstract: In a cloud environment that provides both virtual environment and non-virtual environment, in order to address a problem in that monitoring items that vary depending on usage cases must be managed, the present invention proposes a management method in which whether each server brings about a virtual environment or a non-virtual environment is managed by performing registration processing in cooperation with image management and a service resource registration task. In addition, user manager monitoring profile item management information for virtual/no-virtual environment is prepared, and with reference to this information, calculation methods, which specify monitoring items to be monitored out of monitoring items and infra monitoring items for each environment, are managed. With the use of these calculation methods, a user manager and an infrastructure manager may perform optimal monitorings.

Abstract: A non-virtual server and a virtual server make up the same tenant in an environment, in which virtual servers created by dividing a single physical server into a plurality of computer environments coexist with a non-virtual server that directly uses a single physical server as a computer environment without using server virtualization. A management computer is provided with virtual switch management information that shows a correlation between the virtual servers and an internal network to which a relevant virtual server connects, and physical switch management information that shows a correlation between the non-virtual server and an internal network to which the non-virtual server connects. The management computer creates a virtual server that belongs to the same tenant as a physical instance, identifies a first internal network to which the non-virtual server connects, and configures the tenant so that the relevant virtual server is connected to the first internal network.

Abstract: The integrated resource management unit 202 manages some of the resources 311a, 311b, 311c and prepares a plurality of containers 310 provided as virtual resources, with respect to the application programs. In response to a predetermined request that is issued with respect to a tenant 300a or 300b that is configured to divide a resource to be used, the integrated resource management unit provides a request-source tenant with a container selected from among the plurality of containers. In the container that is provided to the request-source tenant by the integrated resource management unit, a resource, which is allocated beforehand to an application program designated by the predetermined request, is occasionally configured to have usage lower than a designated usage.

Abstract: A management server acquires storage and application information from a first system to store the information. The storage information includes storage area correspondence information indicating a correspondence between a storage area and a processor. The application information includes application correspondence information indicating a correspondence between the processor and an application, and application configuration information indicating a past Input/Output (IO) load on the storage area. The management server estimates an IO load on the storage area by the application based on the storage and application information to obtain an estimated value, and determines whether or not a copy processable period, a period in which a copy process of data can be performed is present, based on the data size and the estimated value. When the copy processable period is present, the management server transmits a copy indication including a start time of the copy processable period to a copy processing server.
