Abstract

An information processing apparatus and method mitigate a processing delay of a system in a switched backup environment when the system is switched from a main environment to the backup environment in a hybrid cloud. A remote copy processing apparatus in the hybrid cloud has: a data access frequency management unit and a data access locality management unit that acquire and manage an access frequency and access locality regarding the access frequency from a host(s) in a public cloud to each pieces of data stored in a storage apparatus; a copy data judgment unit that judges object data of remote copy processing on the basis of a priority, the access frequency, and the access locality of the system; and a data copy execution unit that issues an instruction to the storage apparatus to start executing the remote copy processing on the object data.
