Network configuring apparatus

A network configuring apparatus comprising:

• an optical wiring switching unit that includes a first connection interface;
• a packet switch that includes a second connection interface;
• a resource that includes a third connection interface, the resource being formed with at least one of a server and a storage device;
• a control device that controls the optical wiring switching unit to perform a switching of connection between the connection interfaces;
• and
• a communication interface converting unit that includes a fourth connection interface, the communication interface converting unit performing a conversion of a communication interface, wherein
• the control device controls the optical wiring switching unit to perform the switching of connection between the connection interfaces,
• the packet switch and at least one of the resource and the communication interface converting unit are connected to the optical wiring switching unit via the connection interfaces, end
• the network configuring apparatus configures a network by connecting the packet switch and at least one of the resource and the communication interface converting unit with a control of the optical wiring switching unit,
• the packet switch and the resource are connected to the optical wiring switching unit via the connection interfaces, and
• the network configuring apparatus configures a network by connecting the packet switch and the resource with a control of the optical wiring switching unit.

A computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a computer program for configuring a network, wherein

• the computer program causes a computer to execute:
• controlling an optical wiring switching unit that includes a first connection interface, a packet switch that includes a second connection interface, a resource that includes a third connection interface, and is formed with at least one of a server and a storage device, to autonomously perform a switching of connection between the connection interfaces in response to a request for changing a network configuration based on a communication traffic between packet switches;
• and
• configuring a network by connecting the packet switch and the resource with a control of the optical wiring switching unit.
