Information processing apparatus for controlling data transferring and method of processing information for controlling data transferring

Abstract

An apparatus includes: a storing device including regions allocated one to each of virtual machines; a processing device, connected to the storing device, that executes the virtual machines; a relay device, connected to the processing device, that executes a relaying process, serving as a virtual switch that connects the virtual machines to one another; and a transfer processor that transfers data between the regions through the processing device. The relay device obtains, from a first region, a first fragment data of target data being stored in the first region and indicating a destination of the target data, and outputs, when the destination is a second region, an instruction instructing the transfer processor to transfer the target data from the first region to the second region. The transfer processor transfers the target data from the first region to the second region through the processing device in response to the instruction.
