Abstract
A hierarchical storage management system including primary storage and secondary storage includes a determinator and a relocator. The determinator makes a determination, on the basis of the size of a file saved in the primary storage and an access interval time, whether or not moving the file from the primary storage to the secondary storage can reduce consumed energy. The relocator moves the file from the primary storage to the secondary storage in accordance with the determination.
