A support apparatus and method are capable of facilitating work to optimize deployment locations of information processing resources and are respectively allocated to one or more allocation targets. A deployment location candidate is calculated, which is an appropriate deployment location of each of the information processing resources allocated to each of the allocation targets, and a reducible cost is determined when the information processing resource is allocated to the deployment location candidate, with respect to each information processing resource. The reducible cost is displayed when the deployment of the information processing resource allocated to the allocation target is optimized, and the importance of the allocation target is determined by associating the reducible cost with the importance of the allocation target with respect to each allocation target on the basis of the calculation result of the reducible cost for each information processing resource.
