Claim Text:
1. A virtual machine management device comprising: an acquiring unit that acquires an amount of communication data that is exchanged between multiple virtual machines running in multiple server devices and that is used for communication with each other; a specifying unit that extracts a server device that executes one of a pair of the virtual machines whose amount of communication data is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, and that specifies, on the basis of a communication distance between each of the server devices in which virtual machines are running, a server device that has a shorter communication distance from the extracted server device than a communication distance between server devices in which the pair of the virtual machines are running, and that has a sum of communication distances between the other one of the pair of the virtual machines and virtual machines, including the one of the pair of the virtual machines, connected to the other one of the pair of the virtual machines that decreases greater than a predetermined distance when the other one of the pair of the virtual machines is moved; and a move processing unit that moves the other one of the pair of the virtual machines to the server device that has been specified by the specifying unit.
