Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus configured to determine an allocation configuration for allocating virtual machines to physical machines, the apparatus comprising: a prediction section configured to determine a total predicted peak usage amount of physical resources based on the sum of predicted peak usage amounts for each time interval of a plurality of time intervals for individual clusters of a plurality of clusters wherein the clusters include a plurality of virtual machines; a setting section configured to set a constraint that ensures that, for individual combinations of a first physical machine, a second physical machine, and a time interval t, a total predicted peak usage amount of the physical resource predicted for the first physical machine if the second physical machine stops during the time interval t does not exceed a physical resource amount prepared for the first physical machine an allocation-configuration deriving section configured to derive an allocation configuration by calculating, in accordance with the constraint, a solution to an optimization.
