Abstract: An information processing apparatus calculates, at the time of moving a virtual machine which operates on a first physical machine, an amount of a first resource which the virtual machine can use on a second physical machine without sharing with another virtual machine. The information processing apparatus estimates response time of the virtual machine at the time of moving the virtual machine to the second physical machine on the basis of response time of the virtual machine at the time of the virtual machine operating on the first physical machine and the amount of the first resource. At this time the information processing apparatus uses different algorithms at the time of a resource used by the virtual machine being within the first resource and at the time of the virtual machine using a second resource which the virtual machine shares with another virtual machine.

Abstract: A performance data collection unit collects the performance data of managed CPUs from a performance measurement unit. A grouping unit compares the collected performance data with each other, forms groups of CPUs whose performance data is approximate to each other, and selects a representative CPU of each group. A performance data transmission unit transmits the collected performance data to a performance data management apparatus that accumulates and manages the performance data. In this connection, the performance data of the representative CPUs of the groups is transmitted at specified transmission intervals, and the performance data of the other CPUs of the groups is transmitted at transmission intervals that are longer than the specified transmission intervals.

Abstract: A merging apparatus includes a first database in which a plurality of attributes including a key attribute that is set in advance as a key for merging is set and a second database in which one or a plurality of attributes excluding the key attribute is set. Furthermore, the merging apparatus checks an attribute that is set in the first database against an attribute that is set in the second database and extracts a common attribute that is set in common in both the first database and the second database. Then, the merging apparatus merges the first database with the second database by determining whether attribute values classified under the extracted common attribute match.

The trace collection condition includes an indication of a range of tracing for each application and a record of applications which has passed through. The trace condition embedding unit further includes intermittent switch information which indicates a ratio of trace collection to reception times of the request telegraphic message.
