Claim 0:
1. A failure prediction server comprising:
an interface configured to communicate with equipment comprising a component targeted for failure prediction;
a memory configured to store measurement data acquired from the equipment; and
a processor configured to:
set a monitoring start condition for failure prediction in the corresponding equipment based on the measurement data acquired as initial data from the equipment,
accumulate the measurement data acquired from the equipment in the memory after the monitoring start condition is satisfied, and
predict a failure of the component based on the measurement data stored in the memory;

wherein the equipment is an image forming apparatus;
wherein the component is a motor, and the measurement data is data indicating a driving state of the motor; and
wherein the measurement data is data indicating the time until the motor reaches a normal rotation.
