A storage network system that prevents waste of a core's resources and is thereby operated efficiently, and a method for controlling such a storage network system are provided. Policy differences between a core and a plurality of edges are buffered by enabling hierarchical control of data storage on the side of the plurality of edges in cooperation with hierarchical control of data storage on the core side, and the buffered policy is applied to the hierarchical control of the data storage on the core side.
