Abstract: Providing copy data candidates appropriate for a user request. Included are an operational portal that registers user request information; a data catalog that manages information about multiple copy data located at sites configuring a hybrid cloud system; a data allocation service that allocates duplicated copy data to the sites; and a guideline management service that selects a copy data candidate appropriate for user request information. The guideline management service acquires information about copy data containing the same data as user request information from the data catalog and verifies whether there is a copy data candidate satisfying the user request information. When there is consequently no copy data candidate satisfying the user request information, the copy data is allocated to the site on condition that the copy data is optimal enough to satisfy a generation schedule and a processing speed of a copy data candidate satisfying the user request information.

Abstract: When anonymized data is used for data analysis purposes, it is required to try a plurality of anonymized data by trial and error. In this case, it is required to prevent re-identification (deterioration in an anonymity level) caused by collation of the plurality of anonymized data regardless of the intention of a worker. Information on a use condition of use target data (an anonymization method and an importance level of each attribute) is acquired from a data user, a processing data candidate is generated based upon the acquired information, and when a collation result formed of a plurality of any pieces of a processing data candidate group (data obtained by processing a value of each attribute to a lower limit value of a generalized hierarchy definition level and combining the data with each other) satisfies the use condition, a processing data group is provided as a processing data providable group.
