Abstract: An information processing system has an information processing apparatus and a terminal coupled to each other through a network. The terminal has an address acquiring unit that reads storage information of a portable storage medium used by a user of the terminal to acquire the address of the information processing apparatus that is a utilization allocation destination of the terminal that is included in the storage information, and stores the address in a memory. A connection is established between the information processing apparatus and the terminal through the network. A remote controlling unit transmits operating information input at an interface of the terminal to the address of the information processing apparatus and receives video information corresponding to the operating information from the information processing apparatus to display video information on an output interface of the terminal.

Abstract: A remote machine uses a process control unit to monitor a process for a Web browser program. When the process for the Web browser program starts to operate, an operating time therefor starts to be measured. When the operating time reaches a predetermined time, the process for the Web browser program is forcefully terminated. After that, unless the remote machine 2 is rebooted, that is, unless a RAM is cleared, the process for the Web browser program is forcefully terminated immediately after its start.

Abstract: A management device selects a storage device having a plenty of unallocated storage regions, selects a target using a port having a small allocation quantity from the storage device targets, and allocates the target, an initiator, and a storage region. When the number of targets and the allocated storage regions prepared by the storage device is within a predetermined number, the storage device manages the storage device as an allocation candidate. When the predetermined number is exceeded, the exceeding one is excluded from the allocation candidate. When the number of storage devices excluded from the allocation candidate has reached a certain number, the management device manages a new storage device and a new storage region as an allocation candidate.

Abstract: In an environment where there is a possibility that the user connects from a plurality of blade PCs to the storage, the present invention prevents the data destruction by realizing the exclusive control of the storage device. The storage connection from a blade PC which was possible to connect until now is made to be impossible by that the management server newly generates and sets to the storage device the connection information between the storage device which the blade PC keeps. Further, by sending the newly generated connection information to the other blade PC the connection from that blade PC becomes possible.

The terminal has an address acquiring unit that reads storage information of a portable storage medium used by a user of the terminal to acquire the address of the information processing apparatus that is a utilization allocation destination of the terminal that is included in the storage information, and stores the data of the address in a memory. A connection is established between the information processing apparatus and the terminal through the network. A remote controlling unit transmits operating information input at an input interface of the terminal to the address of the information processing apparatus and receives video information corresponding to the operating information from the information processing apparatus to display the video information on an output interface of the terminal.

Abstract: An environment migration system set, as a utilization environment of a terminal, a utilization environment of another terminal in an information processing apparatus when the terminal utilizes the information processing apparatus through a network. A connection is established through a network between the information processing apparatus and the other terminal in accordance with response data returned from the information processing apparatus. A utilization environment transmitting unit extracts data of the utilization environment of the other terminal and transmits it to the address of the information processing apparatus. The utilization environment data received from the other terminal is then stored into a storage apparatus as the utilization environment data of the terminal.

Abstract: For the first use of an authentication device, a remote machine makes a query of an address of a local machine to be permanently assigned to the remote machine, to which the authentication device is connected, to a management server. In response to the query, the management server determines the local machine to be permanently assigned to the remote machine and notifies the remote machine of an address of the local machine. The remote machine remotely controls the local machine specified by the address notified from the management server.
