Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is, in a file storage, to shorten an access response time to shared data. When a file storage apparatus receives a command for a specific manipulation of a file system, a specific apparatus determines, based on a state of the file system and a manipulation history, whether or not an unapplied manipulation affects a target of the specific manipulation, the unapplied manipulation being a manipulation which has been previously executed by another file storage apparatus among a plurality of file storage apparatuses and which has not been applied to the file system. When it is determined that the unapplied manipulation affects the target of the specific manipulation, the file storage apparatus applies the unapplied manipulation to the file system, executes the specific manipulation on the file system, and transmits, to a cloud storage apparatus, manipulation information which represents the specific manipulation.

One node of the nodes is connected to the multi-core fiber and includes a connector configured to add and drop a signal to and from an allocated core exclusively allocated for communication between the one node and another node of the nodes and/or configured to relay a signal transmitted through another core allocated to communication between the other nodes in multi-core fibers connected to the one node.

Abstract: Transfer of desired monitoring data is enabled while restraining a data storage capacity and transfer capacity. A base system senses an alert and generates an index for specifying collection target data that is data present within a predetermined collection target time including an alert occurrence time point, records the collection target data in association with the index, into a time-series data table, and stores alert identification information in association with the index, into an index specifying table. A center system receives the alert identification information and transmits a data request for requesting the collection target data, to the base system. The base system, upon receipt of the data request, acquires the index associated with the designated alert identification information by searching the index specifying table, acquires the collection target data specified by the index from the time-series data table, and transmits the acquired data to the center system.
