Abstract
According to one embodiment, a connection control device includes a request acceptor to accept a connection destination determination request transmitted from a first communication device; and a determiner to determine a server being a connection destination of the first communication device from among a plurality of servers. At least one first server among the servers is scheduled to stop running at a first time point. The determiner determines the connection destination of the first communication device in accordance with a number of communication devices connected to each of the servers, based on history information on connection durations by the first communication device with the servers or history information on connection durations by communication devices with the first server, so that a number of the communication devices connected to the first server before the first time point arrives is suppressed.
