摘要： A storage resource operation managing method in a storage network arranged by a node for transmitting an access request via a network to a storage and by a plurality of storage groups which receive the access request so as to execute a content of the access request includes the following steps, a logical distance defined from the node to the storage resource is acquired, alternatively, geographical distances among the respective storage resources are acquired, alternatively, in such a case that both the logical distance and the geographical distance are acquired, requests with respect to the respective distances are acquired, and a storage resource is selected, an acquired requirement range is entered into a selection factor so as to select a desirable storage resource.

摘要： In order to readily switch over between SSPs (i.e., Storage Service Providers) that undertake the operation/management of storage apparatuses, in an information processing system including a computer and the storage apparatuses, an operating/managing system provided among the computer and the storage apparatuses includes the following units: A connection destination switching unit and an information duplicating unit for implementing the migration between the SSPs without interrupting the accesses to the storage apparatuses from the computer, and a request property selecting unit, a property comparing unit, and a comparison result indicating unit for assisting the selection of a purpose-fitting SSP from among the plurality of SSPs.
