  • Publication number: 20160302055
    Abstract: Included are: connection control devices each of which establishes a connection between terminal devices; an information transfer device that receives connection request information from a terminal device and transmits the received connection request information to a connection control device associated in advance with the user information of the user operating the terminal device; and a system management device that detects the addition of a connection control device. When having detected the addition of the connection control device, the system management device selects, on the basis of a predetermined user selection condition, the user information of the user to be associated with the added connection control device, and instructs the information transfer device to store the selected user information and the information of the added connection control device with the former associated with the latter.

  • Patent number: 9438498
    Abstract: There is provided a resource optimization method enabling a stable live migration. An amount of generated traffic that is anticipated to be generated is estimated based on the number of subscribers to be processed by a SIP server on a virtual machine (step S1). Since it is not necessary to perform a live migration of the virtual machine when the estimated amount of generated traffic is less than or equal to an optimum value predetermined as throughput of physical hardware on which the virtual machine operates (“Yes” in step S2), monitoring of the number of number of subscribers is continued by returning to step S1. Meanwhile, when the estimated amount of generated traffic exceeds the optimum value (“No” in step S2), an optimum physical hardware which has a margin for processing the amount of generated traffic is selected, and the virtual machine live-migrates to the selected physical hardware (step S3).
