Migration destination determination apparatus, physical server, migration destination determination system, migration destination determination method and program

A migration destination determination method executed by a migration destination determination apparatus configured to determine a physical server as a migration destination of a virtual machine, the migration destination determination method comprising:

• determining, based on a similarity between a variation pattern in resource usage of the virtual machine in an area of a migration source and a variation pattern in resource usage of a physical server in another area, the physical server as a migration destination of the virtual machine and
• calculating, using a resource value associated with information identifying at least one of the virtual machine and the physical server in a predetermined time interval, a degree of association indicating a degree to which the information and the variation pattern in the resource usage of the at least one of the virtual machine and the physical server are associated with each other,
• wherein in the determining of the physical server, the similarity is determined using the degree of association.
