Abstract: In a management system, an acquisition unit acquires information regarding adjustment of an amount of resources to be used for a first processing system according to an instruction for switching a processing system that processes a request transmitted from a predetermined network system. An adjustment instruction unit issues an instruction for increasing the number of virtual machines in a second processing system as an adjustment instruction to adjust an amount of resources in the second processing system based on this acquired information. The processing system that processes the request transmitted from the predetermined network system is switched according to this adjustment instruction.

Abstract: An instruction to delete a first managing tenant among managing tenants in a system is accepted. Information included in management information of the first managing tenant and customer information unique to a customer managed by the first managing tenant is held as transfer information of the first managing tenant, and is managed using an access authority assigned to information of the customer. The held transfer information of the first managing tenant is transferred to the second management tenant when the second management tenant is determined to be a destination of the transfer from the first managing tenant.

Abstract: A cooling system for a processor includes a base member that is electrically grounded, a circuit board having a first terminal and a second terminal that is electrically separated from the first terminal, one of the first and second terminals being secured and electrically connected to the base member, a cooling unit configured to be operated in a first mode in response to a first control signal and in a second mode in response to a second control signal, and a control unit configured to output the first control signal when the first terminal is secured and electrically connected to the base member and the second control signal when the second terminal is secured and electrically connected to the base member.

Abstract: Provided is a management server system that accepts a transition instruction for transition between tenants of an agent device, generates symmetric keys consisting of a first key and a second key, responds the second key to the agent device, and verifies signature information included in a transition request using the first key when the agent device makes a tenant transition request. Upon successful verification of signature information, the management server system transmits new authentication information for communication between the management server system and the agent device to the agent device. After transition of the tenant, the agent device communicates with the management server system using the new authentication information.
