Information processing device and information processing method

An information processing method of performing processes to provide copy data by using an information processing device, comprising the steps of:

• allowing an operational portal to register user request information;
• allowing a data catalog to manage the information about a plurality of copy data allocated to a plurality of sites configuring a hybrid cloud system;
• allowing a data allocation service to allocate duplicated copy data to the plurality of sites;
• and
• allowing a guideline management service to select copy data candidates appropriate for user request information,
• wherein the guideline management service also acquires information about copy data, containing the same data as user request information, from the data catalog and verifies whether there is a copy data candidate satisfying user request information,
• wherein, when there is a copy data candidate satisfying the user request information, the copy data is allocated to the plurality of sites, and
• wherein, when there is no copy data candidate satisfying the user request information, the copy data is allocated to the plurality of sites on condition that the copy data is optimal enough to satisfy a generation schedule and a processing speed of a copy data candidate satisfying the user request information.
