A monitoring unit acquires load information on a Tier pool that includes therein a plurality of volumes. A maximum performance calculating unit calculates, on the basis of the load information on the volumes acquired by the monitoring unit, an entire bandwidth of the Tier pool. A bandwidth management unit calculates, on the basis of the minimum guarantee bandwidth for each of the predetermined volumes, each of individual bandwidths such that the sum total of the individual bandwidths allocated to the respective volumes corresponds to the entire bandwidth calculated by the maximum performance calculating unitand allocates the calculated individual bandwidths to the respective volumes.
