Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 3:
4. The management method according to claim 2,
wherein the processor executes a determination process of determining whether the configuration management information includes the second storage region and the type of the usage configuration,
wherein, in the extraction process, if the second storage region and type of the usage configuration are not included according to the determination process, the processor extracts the cost calculation formula for all combinations of the second storage regions and the usage configurations in the cost calculation rule table,
wherein, in the first calculation process, the processor calculates the cost estimate value by the cost calculation formula for each of the combinations by acquiring, from the performance/capacity history table, a value to be substituted in as the variable of the cost calculation formula, and
wherein, in the creation process, the processor creates a cost estimate result including, for each of the combinations, the cost estimate value calculated in the first calculation process, the second storage region, and the type of the usage configuration.
