Abstract: A diskless computer is allowed to finish a write request with no influence of a storage device and a network of the storage device. A node device 104 passes on information sent and received between a diskless computer 101 and a storage device 102. When information sent from the diskless computer 101 is a write request to the storage device 102, target data of the write request is cached, and a response to the write request is sent to a source diskless computer of the write request. The write request for the data having been cached is sent to a storage device into which the data is written, and a response to the write request is received from the storage device.
