Abstract
A management machine according to an exemplary aspect of the invention includes a receiver that receives, from a first server, server information on the first server and AP information on a plurality of applications located in the first server, and a selector that selects a candidate application from the plurality of applications for each of a plurality of algorisms referring to the AP information and the server information, and that performs a relocation of one of the candidate applications from the first server to a second server.
