An information processing apparatus for a hybrid cloud system including hosts provided in a cloud and a storage apparatus which is provided at a location other than the cloud and from and to which the hosts read and write data, the information processing apparatus managing a configuration of the storage apparatus and comprising: a data acquisition unit that monitors occurrence of scale-out of the hosts in the cloud comprising an increase of the number of the hosts which execute the corresponding processing, manages data access frequency being a number of times of accesses from the hosts to each piece of the data stored in the storage apparatus and deviation of data accesses with respect to each of the hosts indicating which host has accessed which data and how many times, and acquires storage information about a load on the storage apparatus from the storage apparatus; and a data copy management unit that manages copying of the data in the storage apparatus, wherein if the data acquisition unit detects the scale-out of the hosts and determines based on the storage information that a first volume, which stores the data from the hosts, in the storage apparatus has a high load, the data acquisition unit issues an instruction to the data copy management unit to copy the data; and wherein if the data copy management unit receives the instruction from the data acquisition unit to copy the data stored in the first volume, the data copy management unit issues an instruction to the storage apparatus, on the basis of the data access frequency and deviation of data accesses from the hosts to each piece of the data stored in the first volume, to copy the data with high data access frequency from each host, to a second volume which is different from the first volume and copy the data with high data access frequency from a specific one of the hosts, to a third volume which is different from the first volume and the second volume. a data acquisition unit that monitors occurrence of scale-out of the hosts in the cloud comprising an increase of the number of the hosts which execute the corresponding processing, manages data access frequency being a number of times of accesses from the hosts to each piece of the data stored in the storage apparatus and deviation of data accesses with respect to each of the hosts indicating which host has accessed which data and how many times, and acquires storage information about a load on the storage apparatus from the storage apparatus; and a data copy management unit that manages copying of the data in the storage apparatus, wherein if the data acquisition unit detects the scale-out of the hosts and determines based on the storage information that a first volume, which stores the data from the hosts, in the storage apparatus has a high load, the data acquisition unit issues an instruction to the data copy management unit to copy the data; and wherein if the data copy management unit receives the instruction from the data acquisition unit to copy the data stored in the first volume, the data copy management unit issues an instruction to the storage apparatus, on the basis of the data access frequency and deviation of data accesses from the hosts to each piece of the data stored in the first volume, to copy the data with high data access frequency from each host, to a second volume which is different from the first volume and copy the data with high data access frequency from a specific one of the hosts, to a third volume which is different from the first volume and the second volume.
