Abstract: In a multi-tenancy information processing system, a necessary setting change item and a target NW device are specified at the time of changing a configuration of a virtual machine of a tenant. A management server 116 includes a device management table 352 for each tenant and each segment, in which an NW setting item set for a network (NW) device is stored for each of the NW devices corresponding to the segment of the tenant, in advance. The management server 116 receives a configuration change request including type information on a request representing addition, deletion, or movement of the virtual machine, an identifier of a target tenant, and an identifier of a target segment.

Abstract: A printing method and apparatus according to the present invention is capable of instructing whether or not a printing portion is used in a case where data is received from a host so as to be printed, and the initializing control required to perform printing can be skipped at the time of power supply if the printing portion is not used, or arranged to store a fact whether or not initialization has been performed so that whether or not the initialization is performed is controlled at the time of the power supply or when a printing opportunity has been issued.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus capable of distinguishing the data entered from the keyboard from those received through a communication line, thus facilitating the use by the operator.

Abstract: A modular calculator system using interchangeable input modules and output modules provides several different calculators using the same output display components to avoid expensive duplication of parts. The input module contains the calculator keyboard and program-control circuits which establish predetermined calculator functional capabilities, such as basic arithmetic or scientific functions. The output module houses and drives a printer and visual display components. Data from the input module is communicated serially over a single line to the output module so that a single reliable and inexpensive electrical connection may be used. An overlapping flange mechanical coupling physically connects the modules to form a combined unitary calculator housing.
