Abstract

A load estimator supplies, to a controller, a load condition signal corresponding to the current load condition and the estimated load condition of the system. An operational setting storage unit stores an operational setting requirement of the entire system. When the controller determines that the operational requirement meets the operational setting requirement, and the load condition signal meets a predetermined requirement, it reads out, from a relocation program storage unit, an optimum relocation program in association with location information stored in a data location information storage unit, and controls a data relocation unit in accordance with the read relocation program. During a process for relocating data, the controller monitors a predetermined requirement of the suspension (execution of writing, etc., data to a data storage unit). When the requirement of the suspension is fulfilled, the controller terminates the data relocation process processed by the data relocation unit.
