  • Publication number: 20200097375
    Abstract: A relay system includes a detector that detects occurrence of failure related to a processor that reads and processes requests from a memory, a monitor that monitors statuses of the requests stored in the memory and gives an instruction to increase or reduce a computational resource depending on the statuses of the requests stored in the memory, and a controller that performs control in response to detection of the failure by the detector so that a status of the memory is set to a state in which the monitor determines that addition of the computational resource is unnecessary.

  • Publication number: 20200099822
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first reception unit, a first transmission unit, and a processing unit. The first reception unit receives a use request for use of specific data, which are necessary when using the apparatus itself, from a terminal device held by a user of the apparatus itself. The first transmission unit transmits positional information which indicates a position, in a data management apparatus that manages the specific data, at which the specific data which are available to the user are stored, to the terminal device in response to reception of the use request. The processing unit performs a process that uses at least part of the specific data in response to reception of an instruction for the process from the terminal device which references the specific data by connecting to the position which is indicated by the positional information in the data management apparatus.
