For example, Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe services that provide virtual servers with pay-per-use depending on the amount of allocated resources.
　特許文献１には、仮想サーバが稼動する物理サーバの処理能力の余裕度を同じ基準で計測することを目的として、以下の処理を行うことが記載されている。まず、管理サーバ装置は、物理サーバに、仮想サーバイメージを送信する。この仮想サーバイメージは、ＯＳと性能計測プログラムを含んでいる。物理サーバは、仮想サーバイメージに基づいて仮想サーバを生成する。そして管理サーバ装置は、仮想サーバで測定された性能情報を、物理サーバから受信する。 Patent Document 1 describes that the following processing is performed for the purpose of measuring the margin of processing capacity of a physical server on which a virtual server is operated based on the same standard. First, the management server device transmits a virtual server image to the physical server. This virtual server image includes an OS and a performance measurement program. The physical server generates a virtual server based on the virtual server image. Then, the management server device receives performance information measured by the virtual server from the physical server.

　以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を用いて説明する。尚、すべての図面において、同様な構成要素には同様の符号を付し、適宜説明を省略する。
（第１の実施形態） Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to the same components, and the description will be omitted as appropriate.
(First embodiment)
　図１は、第１の実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００の機能構成及び使用環境を示す機能ブロック図である。情報処理装置１００は、ネットワーク２０を介して、複数のＩａａＳサイト２００と通信を行う。ネットワーク２０は、例えばインターネットである。 FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration and usage environment of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment. The information processing apparatus 100 communicates with a plurality of IaaS sites 200 via the network 20. The network 20 is the Internet, for example.
　複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれには、同一の仮想サーバ２１０が生成される。仮想サーバ２１０は性能計測用の仮想サーバである。情報処理装置１００は、仮想サーバ２１０から性能情報を受信する。性能情報は仮想サーバ２１０が処理を実行したときの処理性能、例えば処理速度または処理時間を算出するための情報である。そして情報処理装置１００は、受信した性能情報に基づいて、仮想サーバ２１０の処理性能を、ＩａａＳサイト２００ごとに認識する。 The same virtual server 210 is generated in each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200. The virtual server 210 is a performance measurement virtual server. The information processing apparatus 100 receives performance information from the virtual server 210. The performance information is information for calculating processing performance when the virtual server 210 executes processing, for example, processing speed or processing time. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 recognizes the processing performance of the virtual server 210 for each IaaS site 200 based on the received performance information.
　また、情報処理装置１００は、課金情報を課金情報記憶部１１２から読み出す。課金情報は、複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれの課金体系を示す情報である。本実施形態において課金情報記憶部１１２は、情報処理装置１００の外部に設けられている。ただし、課金情報記憶部１１２は、情報処理装置１００の内部に設けられていても良い。そして情報処理装置１００は、ＩａａＳサイト２００ごとに認識した仮想サーバ２１０の性能情報、及び課金情報を用いて、コスト情報を生成する。コスト情報は、ＩａａＳサイト２００ごとのコストパフォーマンスを示す情報である。このため、情報処理装置１００を用いることにより、ＩａａＳサイト２００のコストパフォーマンスを示す情報をユーザに提供することができる。以下、詳細に説明する。 In addition, the information processing apparatus 100 reads charging information from the charging information storage unit 112. The charging information is information indicating the charging system of each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200. In the present embodiment, the billing information storage unit 112 is provided outside the information processing apparatus 100. However, the billing information storage unit 112 may be provided inside the information processing apparatus 100. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 generates cost information using the performance information of the virtual server 210 recognized for each IaaS site 200 and the billing information. The cost information is information indicating cost performance for each IaaS site 200. For this reason, by using the information processing apparatus 100, information indicating the cost performance of the IaaS site 200 can be provided to the user. Details will be described below.
　情報処理装置１００は、課金情報取得部１１０、性能情報受信部１２０、及びコスト算出部１３０を有している。課金情報取得部１１０は、課金情報記憶部１１２から課金情報を読み出す。課金情報は、例えば、予め定められたリソース量別に、単位時間当たりの金額を示している。性能情報受信部１２０は、複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれに生成された仮想サーバ２１０から、性能情報を受信する。本実施形態において、仮想サーバ２１０は、ＩａａＳサイト２００内で予め準備された仮想サーバであっても良いし、情報処理装置１００からの指示によって生成された仮想サーバであっても良い。コスト算出部１３０は、課金情報及び性能情報を用いてコスト情報を生成する。 The information processing apparatus 100 includes a billing information acquisition unit 110, a performance information reception unit 120, and a cost calculation unit 130. The billing information acquisition unit 110 reads billing information from the billing information storage unit 112. The charging information indicates, for example, the amount of money per unit time for each predetermined resource amount. The performance information receiving unit 120 receives performance information from the virtual server 210 generated in each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200. In the present embodiment, the virtual server 210 may be a virtual server prepared in advance in the IaaS site 200, or may be a virtual server generated by an instruction from the information processing apparatus 100. The cost calculation unit 130 generates cost information using the billing information and performance information.
　複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれでは、仮想サーバ２１０が性能情報を生成する。性能情報は、仮想サーバ２１０の性能、例えば処理速度を算出するためのデータ、又は単位処理あたりの処理時間を算出するためのデータである。処理情報は、例えば、ＣＰＵ使用率、メモリ使用率、記録媒体の入出力性能値（例えば最大データ転送速度に対する入出力データ転送速度の割合）、及び記憶媒体の保存データ量、通信制御装置の入出力性能値（伝送速度や使用帯域等）の計測結果であってもよい。 In each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200, the virtual server 210 generates performance information. The performance information is data for calculating the performance of the virtual server 210, for example, a processing speed, or data for calculating a processing time per unit process. The processing information includes, for example, the CPU usage rate, the memory usage rate, the input / output performance value of the recording medium (for example, the ratio of the input / output data transfer rate to the maximum data transfer rate), the storage data amount of the storage medium, and the input of the communication controller. It may be a measurement result of an output performance value (transmission speed, use band, etc.).
　性能情報は、例えば性能計測プログラムによって生成される。性能計測プログラムは、例えば市販のベンチマークプログラムである。このベンチマークプログラムとしては、ＣＰＵ、Ｊａｖｅ（登録商標）、およびＷｅｂサーバなど各種性能計測が可能なＳＰＥＣ（Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation）、トランザクション処理性能の計測が可能なＴＰＣ（Transaction Processing Coucil）、及びネットワークの性能計測が可能なnetperfなどがある。また、性能計測プログラムは、新規に作成したベンチマークプログラムであっても良い。 Performance information is generated by, for example, a performance measurement program. The performance measurement program is, for example, a commercially available benchmark program. The benchmark program includes SPEC (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation) that can measure various performances such as CPU, Java (registered trademark), and Web server, TPC (Transaction Processing Processing Council) that can measure transaction processing performance, and network performance. There are netperf etc. that can measure performance. The performance measurement program may be a newly created benchmark program.
　性能計測プログラムは、情報処理装置１００からＩａａＳサイト２００に送信されても良いし、情報処理装置１００のユーザが、記録媒体に格納した状態でＩａａＳサイト２００の運営者に渡し、この運営者が仮想サーバ２１０にアップロードしても良い。 The performance measurement program may be transmitted from the information processing apparatus 100 to the IaaS site 200, or the user of the information processing apparatus 100 passes it to the operator of the IaaS site 200 in a state of being stored in a recording medium. You may upload to the server 210.
　性能計測プログラムは、パフォーマンスの測定対象となっている処理の内容によって異なる。例えば測定対象となっている処理がバッチ処理である場合、性能計測プログラムは、バッチ処理で発生する負荷パターン（ネットワーク負荷を含む）を再現するような負荷発生プログラムであってもよいし、実際にネットワーク負荷を発生させるバッチ処理のプログラムであってもよい。 The performance measurement program varies depending on the content of the process that is the target of performance measurement. For example, when the process to be measured is a batch process, the performance measurement program may be a load generation program that reproduces a load pattern (including network load) generated in the batch process. It may be a batch processing program that generates a network load.
　なお、図１に示した情報処理装置１００の各構成要素は、ハードウエア単位の構成ではなく、機能単位のブロックを示している。情報処理装置１００の各構成要素は、任意のコンピュータのＣＰＵ、メモリ、メモリにロードされた本図の構成要素を実現するプログラム、そのプログラムを格納するハードディスクなどの記憶ユニット、ネットワーク接続用インタフェースを中心にハードウエアとソフトウエアの任意の組合せによって実現される。そして、その実現方法、装置には様々な変形例がある。 It should be noted that each component of the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 is not a hardware unit configuration but a functional unit block. Each component of the information processing apparatus 100 is centered on an arbitrary computer CPU, memory, a program that realizes the components shown in the figure loaded in the memory, a storage unit such as a hard disk for storing the program, and a network connection interface. It is realized by any combination of hardware and software. There are various modifications of the implementation method and apparatus.
　図２は、図１に示した情報処理装置１００の処理を説明するためのフローチャートである。このフローチャートに示す処理の前に、複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれでは、仮想サーバ２１０が性能情報を生成している。 FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the processing of the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. Prior to the processing shown in this flowchart, the virtual server 210 generates performance information in each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200.
　情報処理装置１００の性能情報受信部１２０は、複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれの仮想サーバ２１０から、性能情報を、そのＩａａＳサイト２００の識別情報に対応付けて受信する（ステップＳ１０）。また課金情報取得部１１０は、課金情報記憶部１１２から課金情報を読み出す（ステップＳ２０）。 The performance information receiving unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 100 receives the performance information from the virtual server 210 of each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200 in association with the identification information of the IaaS site 200 (step S10). The billing information acquisition unit 110 reads billing information from the billing information storage unit 112 (step S20).
　コスト算出部１３０は、性能情報に基づいて、ＩａａＳサイト２００別に、そのＩａａＳサイト２００で生成された仮想サーバ２１０で処理を実行した場合における、単位処理量に必要な処理時間を算出する（ステップＳ３０）。そしてコスト算出部１３０は、ステップＳ３０で算出した情報、及びステップＳ２０で読み出した課金情報を用いて、ＩａａＳサイト２００別に、単位処理量あたりのコストを、コスト情報として算出する（ステップＳ４０）。 Based on the performance information, the cost calculation unit 130 calculates the processing time required for the unit processing amount when processing is executed by the virtual server 210 generated at the IaaS site 200 for each IaaS site 200 (step S30). ). Then, the cost calculation unit 130 calculates the cost per unit processing amount as cost information for each IaaS site 200 using the information calculated in step S30 and the billing information read in step S20 (step S40).
　従って、本実施形態によれば、情報処理装置１００を用いることにより、ＩａａＳサイト２００のコストパフォーマンスを示す情報をユーザに提供することができる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, by using the information processing apparatus 100, information indicating the cost performance of the IaaS site 200 can be provided to the user.
（第２の実施形態）
　図３は、第２の実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００の機能構成及び使用環境を説明するための機能ブロック図である。本実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００は、以下の点を除いて第１の実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００と同様の構成である。 (Second Embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram for explaining the functional configuration and usage environment of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment. The information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has the same configuration as the information processing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment except for the following points.
　まず、情報処理装置１００のユーザは、いずれかのＩａａＳサイト２００を利用して、ある演算処理（以下、目的とする処理と記載）を行うことを検討している。 First, the user of the information processing apparatus 100 is considering using one of the IaaS sites 200 to perform a certain calculation process (hereinafter referred to as a target process).
　そして、情報処理装置１００は、ローカルネットワーク１０内に設けられている。すなわち情報処理装置１００は、ローカルネットワーク１０及びネットワーク２０を介して、ＩａａＳサイト２００に接続する。 The information processing apparatus 100 is provided in the local network 10. That is, the information processing apparatus 100 is connected to the IaaS site 200 via the local network 10 and the network 20.
　ローカルネットワーク１０には、管理端末１０２が設けられている。管理端末１０２は、情報処理装置１００を制御する。 A management terminal 102 is provided in the local network 10. The management terminal 102 controls the information processing apparatus 100.
　またローカルネットワーク１０には、仮想サーバ１０４が生成される。仮想サーバ１０４は、ＩａａＳサイト２００の仮想サーバ２１０とは、行う処理の目的が異なる。具体的には、ＩａａＳサイト２００の仮想サーバ２１０は、性能計測用の処理を行うが、仮想サーバ１０４は、目的とする処理に必要な演算の総量を計測する。そしてコスト算出部１３０は、仮想サーバ１０４が算出した処理の総量を用いて、コスト情報を生成する。 Also, a virtual server 104 is generated in the local network 10. The virtual server 104 differs from the virtual server 210 of the IaaS site 200 for the purpose of the processing to be performed. Specifically, the virtual server 210 of the IaaS site 200 performs processing for performance measurement, but the virtual server 104 measures the total amount of calculations necessary for the target processing. Then, the cost calculation unit 130 generates cost information using the total amount of processing calculated by the virtual server 104.
　また、情報処理装置１００は、課金情報記憶部１１２を有している。 In addition, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a billing information storage unit 112.
　さらに情報処理装置１００は、性能記憶部１３２、コスト情報記憶部１３４、仮想サーバ送信部１４０、及びサーバイメージ記憶部１４２を備えている。 Further, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a performance storage unit 132, a cost information storage unit 134, a virtual server transmission unit 140, and a server image storage unit 142.
　性能記憶部１３２は、性能情報受信部１２０が受信した性能情報を、その性能情報の送信元であるＩａａＳサイト２００を識別する情報に対応付けて記憶する。コスト情報記憶部１３４は、コスト算出部１３０が算出したコスト情報を記憶する。 The performance storage unit 132 stores the performance information received by the performance information receiving unit 120 in association with information for identifying the IaaS site 200 that is the transmission source of the performance information. The cost information storage unit 134 stores the cost information calculated by the cost calculation unit 130.
　仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、仮想サーバイメージを複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれに送信する。仮想サーバイメージは、仮想サーバ２１０を生成するためのデータである。仮想サーバイメージは、第１の実施形態に示した性能計測プログラムをインストールした仮想サーバのディスクの内容をそのままファイル化したものであり、ＯＳとその上で動く性能計測プログラムとを含んでいる。 The virtual server transmission unit 140 transmits the virtual server image to each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200. The virtual server image is data for generating the virtual server 210. The virtual server image is a file of the contents of the disk of the virtual server in which the performance measurement program shown in the first embodiment is installed, and includes an OS and a performance measurement program that runs on the OS.
　サーバイメージ記憶部１４２は、仮想サーバ送信部１４０が送信する仮想サーバイメージを記憶している。サーバイメージ記憶部１４２は、互いに異なる複数の仮想サーバイメージを記憶している。各仮想サーバイメージは、互いに異なる仮想サーバ２１０を生成する。これら仮想サーバ２１０は、計測すべき処理の内容、すなわち行うべき処理の内容が互いに異なる。サーバイメージ記憶部１４２は、複数の仮想サーバイメージに対応付けて（又は仮想サーバイメージ内に）、その仮想サーバイメージによって生成される複数の仮想サーバ２１０に行わせるべき処理の内容を示すデータも記憶している。 The server image storage unit 142 stores a virtual server image transmitted by the virtual server transmission unit 140. The server image storage unit 142 stores a plurality of different virtual server images. Each virtual server image generates a different virtual server 210. These virtual servers 210 are different in the content of processing to be measured, that is, the content of processing to be performed. The server image storage unit 142 also stores data indicating the contents of processing to be performed by the plurality of virtual servers 210 generated by the virtual server image in association with the plurality of virtual server images (or in the virtual server image). is doing.
　図４は、図３に示した情報処理装置１００の動作を説明するためのフローチャートである。まず管理端末１０２は、ローカルネットワーク１０を介して情報処理装置１００の仮想サーバ送信部１４０に、指示情報（計測タイプを特定する情報）を送信する。この指示情報には、サーバイメージ記憶部１４２からいずれの仮想サーバイメージを読み出すかを特定するための情報が含まれている。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. First, the management terminal 102 transmits instruction information (information for specifying a measurement type) to the virtual server transmission unit 140 of the information processing apparatus 100 via the local network 10. This instruction information includes information for specifying which virtual server image is to be read from the server image storage unit 142.
　仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、管理端末１０２から、指示情報を受信する（ステップＳ１０２）。仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、指示情報に対応する仮想サーバイメージ、及び処理の内容を示すデータを、サーバイメージ記憶部１４２から読み出す（ステップＳ１０４）。そして仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、読み出した仮想サーバイメージ及び処理の内容を示すデータを、複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれに送信する（ステップＳ１０６）。 The virtual server transmission unit 140 receives the instruction information from the management terminal 102 (step S102). The virtual server transmission unit 140 reads the virtual server image corresponding to the instruction information and the data indicating the content of the processing from the server image storage unit 142 (Step S104). Then, the virtual server transmission unit 140 transmits the read virtual server image and data indicating the processing contents to each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200 (step S106).
　ＩａａＳサイト２００は、情報処理装置１００から仮想サーバイメージを受信すると、受信した仮想サーバイメージを用いて仮想サーバ２１０を生成する（ステップＳ１１２）。仮想サーバ２１０は、情報処理装置１００から送信された処理の内容を示すデータに従って、処理を行う（ステップＳ１１４）。そして仮想サーバ２１０は、この処理の結果を用いて、性能情報を生成し（ステップＳ１１６）、生成した性能情報を情報処理装置１００に送信する（ステップＳ１１８）。この性能情報には、例えば、処理の総量を示すデータ、及び処理の実行に要した時間が含まれている。情報処理装置１００の性能情報受信部１２０は、仮想サーバ２１０が送信してきた性能情報、およびＩａａＳサイト２００を識別する情報を受信する。なおステップＳ１１８において、情報処理装置１００の性能情報受信部１２０がＩａａＳサイト２００に、性能情報を要求しても良い。この場合、ＩａａＳサイト２００は、性能情報受信部１２０からの要求を受けてから、性能情報を送信する。 When the virtual server image is received from the information processing apparatus 100, the IaaS site 200 generates a virtual server 210 using the received virtual server image (step S112). The virtual server 210 performs processing according to the data indicating the processing content transmitted from the information processing apparatus 100 (step S114). Then, the virtual server 210 generates performance information using the result of this processing (step S116), and transmits the generated performance information to the information processing apparatus 100 (step S118). This performance information includes, for example, data indicating the total amount of processing and the time required to execute the processing. The performance information receiving unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 100 receives the performance information transmitted by the virtual server 210 and information for identifying the IaaS site 200. In step S118, the performance information receiving unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 100 may request performance information from the IaaS site 200. In this case, the IaaS site 200 transmits performance information after receiving a request from the performance information receiving unit 120.
　また情報処理装置１００は、ローカルネットワーク１０内に、仮想サーバ１０４を生成する（ステップＳ１０８）。仮想サーバ１０４は、目的とする処理に必要な演算の総量を計測するとともに、仮想サーバ１０４の性能情報を生成する（ステップＳ１１０）。仮想サーバ１０４の性能情報の生成方法は、仮想サーバ２１０における性能情報の生成方法と同様である。コスト算出部１３０は、仮想サーバ１０４から、計測した演算の総量及び性能情報を受信する。 In addition, the information processing apparatus 100 generates the virtual server 104 in the local network 10 (step S108). The virtual server 104 measures the total amount of computation necessary for the target processing and generates performance information of the virtual server 104 (step S110). The performance information generation method for the virtual server 104 is the same as the performance information generation method for the virtual server 210. The cost calculation unit 130 receives the measured total amount of calculation and performance information from the virtual server 104.
　例えば仮想サーバ１０４で実行させる計測用のプログラムは、目的とする処理の種類によって異なる。例えば目的とする処理がバッチ処理の場合、仮想サーバ１０４が実行する計測用のプログラムは、そのバッチ処理で発生する負荷パターンを再現するような負荷発生プログラムであってもよいし、目的とする処理そのものを示すバッチ処理用のプログラムであってもよい。演算の総量は、例えば処理時間で示される。この処理時間は、例えば処理に実際にかかった実行時間でも良いし、ＣＰＵ負荷の積分値を平均負荷で割ったものでもよい。 For example, the measurement program executed by the virtual server 104 differs depending on the type of target processing. For example, when the target process is a batch process, the measurement program executed by the virtual server 104 may be a load generation program that reproduces a load pattern generated in the batch process, or the target process It may be a program for batch processing indicating itself. The total amount of calculation is indicated by processing time, for example. This processing time may be, for example, the execution time actually taken for the processing, or may be the CPU load integrated value divided by the average load.
　コスト算出部１３０は、性能情報受信部１２０が受信した性能情報を用いて、ＩａａＳサイト２００別に、処理速度、又は単位処理あたりの処理時間を算出する。そしてコスト算出部１３０は、算出した情報を、ＩａａＳサイト２００の識別情報に対応付けて性能記憶部１３２に記憶させる。またコスト算出部１３０は、仮想サーバ１０４から受信した演算の総量を性能記憶部１３２に記憶させる（ステップＳ１２０）。 The cost calculation unit 130 uses the performance information received by the performance information reception unit 120 to calculate a processing speed or a processing time per unit process for each IaaS site 200. The cost calculation unit 130 stores the calculated information in the performance storage unit 132 in association with the identification information of the IaaS site 200. Further, the cost calculation unit 130 stores the total amount of computation received from the virtual server 104 in the performance storage unit 132 (step S120).
　コスト算出部１３０は、性能情報に基づいて、性能記憶部１３２が記憶している性能情報を用いて、仮想サーバ１０４の性能を基準としたときの仮想サーバ２１０の性能比を、ＩａａＳサイト２００ごとに算出する（ステップＳ１２２）。仮想サーバ２１０の性能比は、計測結果（例えばＣＰＵ負荷）の平均値の比であってもよい。また仮想サーバ２１０の性能比の算出方法は、目的の処理の内容に応じて異なっていても良い。 Based on the performance information, the cost calculation unit 130 uses the performance information stored in the performance storage unit 132 to calculate the performance ratio of the virtual server 210 based on the performance of the virtual server 104 for each IaaS site 200. (Step S122). The performance ratio of the virtual server 210 may be a ratio of average values of measurement results (for example, CPU load). Further, the method for calculating the performance ratio of the virtual server 210 may be different depending on the content of the target process.
　またコスト算出部１３０は、ステップＳ１２２で算出した性能比と、ステップＳ１２０で取得した処理時間を用いて、目的とする処理を仮想サーバ２１０で行った場合における処理時間を、ＩａａＳサイト２００別に算出する（ステップＳ１２４）。 Further, the cost calculation unit 130 calculates the processing time when the target processing is performed in the virtual server 210 for each IaaS site 200, using the performance ratio calculated in step S122 and the processing time acquired in step S120. (Step S124).
　そして課金情報取得部１１０は課金情報記憶部１１２から課金情報を読み出す（ステップＳ１２６）。そしてコスト算出部１３０は、課金情報取得部１１０が読み出した課金情報、及びステップＳ１２４で算出した処理時間を用いて、コスト情報を生成し、コスト情報記憶部１３４に記憶させる（ステップＳ１２８）。またコスト算出部１３０は、生成したコスト情報を管理端末１０２に送信する（ステップＳ１３０）。 Then, the charging information acquisition unit 110 reads the charging information from the charging information storage unit 112 (step S126). Then, the cost calculation unit 130 generates cost information using the charging information read by the charging information acquisition unit 110 and the processing time calculated in step S124, and stores the cost information in the cost information storage unit 134 (step S128). The cost calculation unit 130 transmits the generated cost information to the management terminal 102 (step S130).
　ここで、具体例を挙げてコスト情報の算出方法を説明する。第１のＩａａＳサイト２００における課金体系は、ＣＰＵ１．２ＧＨｚ、メモリ１．７ＧＢ、ＨＤＤ１６０ＧＢのリソース量において、１時間当たり０．１ドルであるとする。また、第２のＩａａＳサイト２００における課金体系は、ＣＰＵ２．０ＧＨｚ、メモリ１ＧＢ、ＨＤＤ４０ＧＢのリソース量において、１時間当たり２０円であるとする。 Here, a method for calculating cost information will be described with a specific example. Assume that the charging system in the first IaaS site 200 is $ 0.1 per hour in the resource amount of the CPU 1.2 GHz, the memory 1.7 GB, and the HDD 160 GB. In addition, it is assumed that the charging system in the second IaaS site 200 is 20 yen per hour in the resource amount of the CPU 2.0 GHz, the memory 1 GB, and the HDD 40 GB.
　そして、ローカルネットワーク１０の仮想サーバ１０４は、目的とする処理の実行時間が１０００時間（図４のステップＳ１１０）であったとする。また、第１のＩａａＳサイト２００における仮想サーバ２１０の性能比が１．２であり、第２のＩａａＳサイト２００における仮想サーバ２１０の性能比が２．０であったとする。この場合、第１のＩａａＳサイト２００の仮想サーバ２１０における処理時間は、１０００時間／１．２＝８３３時間となり、第２のＩａａＳサイト２００の仮想サーバ２１０における処理時間は、１０００時間／２．０＝５００時間となる。 Then, it is assumed that the virtual server 104 of the local network 10 has a target process execution time of 1000 hours (step S110 in FIG. 4). Further, it is assumed that the performance ratio of the virtual server 210 in the first IaaS site 200 is 1.2 and the performance ratio of the virtual server 210 in the second IaaS site 200 is 2.0. In this case, the processing time in the virtual server 210 of the first IaaS site 200 is 1000 hours / 1.2 = 833 hours, and the processing time in the virtual server 210 of the second IaaS site 200 is 1000 hours / 2.0. = 500 hours.
　このため、第１のＩａａＳサイト２００におけるコスト情報は、０．１ドル／時間×８３３時間＝８３．３ドルとなり、第２のＩａａＳサイト２００におけるコスト情報は、２０円／時間×５００時間＝１００００円となる。 Therefore, the cost information at the first IaaS site 200 is $ 0.1 / hour × 833 hours = $ 83.3, and the cost information at the second IaaS site 200 is 20 yen / hour × 500 hours = 10000. Yen.
　本実施形態によっても、第１の実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができる。また、目的とする処理に必要なコストが具体的に算出されるため、情報処理装置１００のユーザは、コストパフォーマンスが高いＩａａＳサイト２００を容易に選択することができる。 Also in this embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. Moreover, since the cost required for the target process is specifically calculated, the user of the information processing apparatus 100 can easily select the IaaS site 200 with high cost performance.
（第３の実施形態）
　図５は、第３の実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００の機能構成及び使用環境を説明するための機能ブロック図である。本実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００は、以下の点を除いて第２の実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００と同様の構成である。 (Third embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram for explaining the functional configuration and usage environment of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the third embodiment. The information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has the same configuration as the information processing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment except for the following points.
　まず、ＩａａＳサイト２００には、情報処理装置１００からの指示に従って、複数の仮想サーバ２１０が生成される。複数の仮想サーバ２１０は、いずれも性能計測用の仮想サーバである。複数の仮想サーバ２１０は、互いに通信を行って処理を行う。 First, a plurality of virtual servers 210 are generated in the IaaS site 200 in accordance with instructions from the information processing apparatus 100. The plurality of virtual servers 210 are all performance measurement virtual servers. The plurality of virtual servers 210 perform processing by communicating with each other.
　また、複数の仮想サーバ２１０が実行する性能計測プログラムは、ネットワーク負荷を発生させるようになっている。このため、図４のステップＳ１１４で示した処理においては、ネットワークに負荷が生じている。従って、情報処理装置１００の性能情報受信部１２０が受信する性能情報には、ＩａａＳサイト２００内におけるネットワークのトラフィックが反映されている。 Also, the performance measurement program executed by the plurality of virtual servers 210 generates a network load. For this reason, in the process shown in step S114 of FIG. 4, a load is generated on the network. Therefore, the performance information received by the performance information receiving unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 100 reflects the network traffic in the IaaS site 200.
　そして、図４のステップＳ１２８において算出されるコスト情報は、一つのＩａａＳサイト２００で生成される仮想サーバ２１０の台数を考慮した値（例えば、処理時間と単価を乗じた値に対し、さらに台数を乗じた値）になっている。 The cost information calculated in step S128 of FIG. 4 is a value that takes into account the number of virtual servers 210 generated in one IaaS site 200 (for example, the number of units multiplied by the processing time and the unit price). (Multiplied value).
　ＩａａＳサイト２００では、他人の仮想サーバも稼動しているため、ＩａａＳサイト２００内でどの程度のネットワークのトラフィックが確保できるか不明である。これに対し、本実施形態では、互いに通信を行う複数の仮想サーバ２１０をＩａａＳサイト２００上に生成し、これら複数の仮想サーバ２１０の相互間で通信を行わせながら処理を行う。そして、仮想サーバ２１０は、この処理で測定された性能情報を、情報処理装置１００の性能情報受信部１２０に送信する。従って、本実施形態によれば、ＩａａＳサイト２００内でのネットワークのトラフィックが反映された状態で、仮想サーバ２１０のパフォーマンスを測定することができる。 Since the virtual server of another person is also operating at the IaaS site 200, it is unclear how much network traffic can be secured within the IaaS site 200. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a plurality of virtual servers 210 that communicate with each other are generated on the IaaS site 200, and processing is performed while the plurality of virtual servers 210 communicate with each other. Then, the virtual server 210 transmits the performance information measured in this process to the performance information receiving unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 100. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the performance of the virtual server 210 can be measured in a state in which the network traffic in the IaaS site 200 is reflected.
　なお、サーバイメージ記憶部１４２は、複数の仮想サーバイメージからなるイメージの組を、複数組記憶している。各イメージの組は、互いに異なる仮想サーバ群を生成する。これら仮想サーバ群は、計測すべき処理の内容、すなわち行うべき処理の内容が互いに異なる。 Note that the server image storage unit 142 stores a plurality of sets of images including a plurality of virtual server images. Each set of images generates different virtual server groups. These virtual server groups are different from each other in content of processing to be measured, that is, content of processing to be performed.
　例えば、第１のイメージの組は、２台の仮想サーバ２１０を生成する。これら２台の仮想サーバは、互いの間で通信を行った場合の最大トラフィック量を計測する。 For example, the first set of images generates two virtual servers 210. These two virtual servers measure the maximum amount of traffic when they communicate with each other.
　第２のイメージの組は、並列計算を想定した複数の仮想サーバ２１０を生成する。並列処理において、仮想サーバは、計算の途中結果を相互に送受信ながら計算を進めていく。そこで第２のイメージの組において生成される複数の仮想サーバ２１０は、複数の仮想サーバ２１０が相互に通信を行う場合の各通信のトラフィック量、及び全ての通信の合計トラフィック量を計測する。 The second set of images generates a plurality of virtual servers 210 assuming parallel computation. In the parallel processing, the virtual server advances the calculation while mutually transmitting and receiving intermediate results of the calculation. Therefore, the plurality of virtual servers 210 generated in the second set of images measure the traffic amount of each communication and the total traffic amount of all the communication when the plurality of virtual servers 210 communicate with each other.
　第３のイメージの組では、複数の仮想サーバ２１０は、処理対象のデータの一部を分割して保持している。一方、使用するデータは、各仮想サーバ２１０が行う処理に応じて変化する。このため、データを処理する仮想サーバ２１０は、データを保持する他の仮想サーバ２１０との間で通信を行いながら、処理を進めていく。 In the third set of images, the plurality of virtual servers 210 divide and hold a part of the data to be processed. On the other hand, the data to be used changes according to the processing performed by each virtual server 210. For this reason, the virtual server 210 that processes data proceeds with processing while communicating with another virtual server 210 that holds the data.
　ここで、具体例を用いて、本実施形態におけるコスト情報の算出方法を説明する。例えば各ＩａａＳサイト２００において、４台の仮想サーバ２１０が稼動したとする。そして、第１のＩａａＳサイト２００における仮想サーバ２１０の１台あたりの費用は、１時間当たり０．１ドルであるとする。また、第２のＩａａＳサイト２００における仮想サーバ２１０の１台あたりの費用は、１時間当たり２０円であるとする。 Here, a calculation method of cost information in the present embodiment will be described using a specific example. For example, assume that four virtual servers 210 are operating in each IaaS site 200. The cost per virtual server 210 in the first IaaS site 200 is assumed to be $ 0.1 per hour. Further, it is assumed that the cost per one virtual server 210 in the second IaaS site 200 is 20 yen per hour.
　そして、ローカルネットワーク１０の仮想サーバ１０４は、目的とする処理の実行時間が１０００時間であったとする。また、ローカルネットワーク１０における仮想サーバ１０４の１台当たりの性能を１．０とした場合において、第１のＩａａＳサイト２００における４台の仮想サーバ２１０の性能比が３．２であり、第２のＩａａＳサイト２００における４台の仮想サーバ２１０の性能比が８．０であったとする。なお、第１のＩａａＳサイト２００における仮想サーバ２１０の性能比は、本来なら、１．２×４台＝４．８となるはずである。ここでは、ネットワークトラフィックの影響によって仮想サーバ２１０の性能が低下して、性能比が３．２に低下しているとする。この場合、第１のＩａａＳサイト２００の仮想サーバ２１０における処理時間は、１０００時間／３．２＝３１３時間となり、第２のＩａａＳサイト２００の仮想サーバ２１０における処理時間は、１０００時間／８．０＝１２５時間となる。 Then, it is assumed that the virtual server 104 of the local network 10 has a target processing execution time of 1000 hours. When the performance per virtual server 104 in the local network 10 is 1.0, the performance ratio of the four virtual servers 210 in the first IaaS site 200 is 3.2, and the second It is assumed that the performance ratio of the four virtual servers 210 in the IaaS site 200 is 8.0. Note that the performance ratio of the virtual server 210 in the first IaaS site 200 should be 1.2 × 4 = 4.8. Here, it is assumed that the performance of the virtual server 210 is lowered due to the influence of network traffic, and the performance ratio is lowered to 3.2. In this case, the processing time in the virtual server 210 of the first IaaS site 200 is 1000 hours / 3.2 = 313 hours, and the processing time in the virtual server 210 of the second IaaS site 200 is 1000 hours / 8.0. = 125 hours.
　このため、第１のＩａａＳサイト２００におけるコスト情報は、０．１ドル／時間×１３１（時間）×４＝１２５ドルとなり、第２のＩａａＳサイト２００におけるコスト情報は、２０円／時間×１２５（時間）×４＝１００００円となる。 Therefore, the cost information at the first IaaS site 200 is $ 0.1 / hour × 131 (hours) × 4 = 125, and the cost information at the second IaaS site 200 is 20 yen / hour × 125 ( Time) × 4 = 10,000 yen.
　本実施形態によっても、第２の実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができる。また、ＩａａＳサイト２００内でのネットワークのトラフィックが反映された状態で、仮想サーバ２１０のコストパフォーマンスを算出することができる。 Also in this embodiment, the same effect as that of the second embodiment can be obtained. Further, the cost performance of the virtual server 210 can be calculated in a state in which the network traffic in the IaaS site 200 is reflected.
（第４の実施形態）
　第４の実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００は、仮想サーバイメージを送信するときに、仮想サーバ２１０のインスタンスサイズを示す情報を送信する点を除いて、第２または第３の実施形態に係る情報処理装置１００と同様の構成である。ここでのインスタンスサイズは、ＩａａＳサイト２００における、仮想サーバ２１０へのリソース（ＣＰＵやメモリなど）の割当量である。 (Fourth embodiment)
The information processing apparatus 100 according to the fourth embodiment, except that the information indicating the instance size of the virtual server 210 is transmitted when transmitting the virtual server image, the information according to the second or third embodiment. The configuration is the same as that of the processing apparatus 100. The instance size here is the amount of resources (CPU, memory, etc.) allocated to the virtual server 210 in the IaaS site 200.
　図６は、本実施形態における情報処理装置１００の動作を説明するフローチャートである。まず管理端末１０２は、ローカルネットワーク１０を介して情報処理装置１００の仮想サーバ送信部１４０に、指示情報を送信する。この指示情報には、サーバイメージ記憶部１４２からいずれの仮想イメージを読み出すかを示す情報が含まれている。またこの指示情報には、インスタンスサイズを変更しながら繰り返し測定を行う旨を示す情報（例えばインスタンスサイズの範囲を示す情報）が含まれている。 FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment. First, the management terminal 102 transmits instruction information to the virtual server transmission unit 140 of the information processing apparatus 100 via the local network 10. This instruction information includes information indicating which virtual image is to be read from the server image storage unit 142. Further, the instruction information includes information indicating that repeated measurement is performed while changing the instance size (for example, information indicating the range of the instance size).
　仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、管理端末１０２から、指示情報を受信する（ステップＳ１０３）。仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、指示情報に対応する複数の仮想サーバイメージ、及び処理の内容を示すデータを、サーバイメージ記憶部１４２から読み出す（ステップＳ１０４）。 The virtual server transmission unit 140 receives the instruction information from the management terminal 102 (step S103). The virtual server transmission unit 140 reads a plurality of virtual server images corresponding to the instruction information and data indicating the contents of processing from the server image storage unit 142 (step S104).
　そして仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、仮想サーバ２１０のインスタンスサイズを設定する（ステップＳ１０５）。そして仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、読み出した仮想サーバイメージ、処理の内容を示すデータ、及びインスタンスサイズの設定情報を、複数のＩａａＳサイト２００それぞれに送信する（ステップＳ１０７）。 The virtual server transmission unit 140 sets the instance size of the virtual server 210 (step S105). Then, the virtual server transmission unit 140 transmits the read virtual server image, the data indicating the processing contents, and the instance size setting information to each of the plurality of IaaS sites 200 (step S107).
　ＩａａＳサイト２００は、情報処理装置１００から仮想サーバイメージ及びインスタンスサイズの設定情報を受信すると、受信した仮想サーバイメージを用いて、仮想サーバ２１０を生成する。ここで生成される仮想サーバ２１０のインスタンスサイズは、情報処理装置１００から受信した設定情報の通りである（ステップＳ１１２）。その後、各ＩａａＳサイト２００が行う処理は、第２の実施形態と同様である（ステップＳ１１４～Ｓ１１８）。 Upon receiving the virtual server image and instance size setting information from the information processing apparatus 100, the IaaS site 200 generates a virtual server 210 using the received virtual server image. The instance size of the virtual server 210 generated here is the same as the setting information received from the information processing apparatus 100 (step S112). Thereafter, the processing performed by each IaaS site 200 is the same as that in the second embodiment (steps S114 to S118).
　また、情報処理装置１００は、ローカルネットワーク１０内に、仮想サーバ１０４を生成する（ステップＳ１０８）。この仮想サーバ１０４のインスタンスサイズは、ステップＳ１０５で設定したとおりである。仮想サーバ１０４は、目的とする処理に必要な演算の総量を計測するとともに、仮想サーバ１０４の性能情報を生成する（ステップＳ１１０）。 Further, the information processing apparatus 100 generates a virtual server 104 in the local network 10 (step S108). The instance size of the virtual server 104 is as set in step S105. The virtual server 104 measures the total amount of computation necessary for the target processing and generates performance information of the virtual server 104 (step S110).
　そして、コスト算出部１３０は、ステップＳ１２０～ステップＳ１２４に示した処理を行う。この処理の詳細は、第２の実施形態と同様である。 The cost calculation unit 130 performs the processes shown in steps S120 to S124. The details of this process are the same as in the second embodiment.
　そして性能情報受信部１２０、コスト算出部１３０、及び仮想サーバ送信部１４０は、インスタンスサイズの設定を変更しながらステップＳ１０５～ステップＳ１２４に示した処理を繰り返し行う（ステップＳ１２５）ことにより、指定されたインスタンスサイズの範囲の全域において、ＩａａＳサイト２００別に、インスタンスサイズごとの処理時間を算出する。 Then, the performance information receiving unit 120, the cost calculating unit 130, and the virtual server transmitting unit 140 are designated by repeatedly performing the processing shown in steps S105 to S124 while changing the setting of the instance size (step S125). The processing time for each instance size is calculated for each IaaS site 200 in the entire instance size range.
　そして課金情報取得部１１０は課金情報記憶部１１２から課金情報を読み出す（ステップＳ１２６）。そしてコスト算出部１３０は、課金情報取得部１１０が読み出した課金情報、及びステップＳ１２４で算出した処理時間を用いて、インスタンスサイズ別のコスト情報を生成し、コスト情報記憶部１３４に記憶させる（ステップＳ１２８）。またコスト算出部１３０は、生成したコスト情報を管理端末１０２に送信する（ステップＳ１３０）。 Then, the charging information acquisition unit 110 reads the charging information from the charging information storage unit 112 (step S126). Then, the cost calculation unit 130 generates cost information for each instance size using the charging information read by the charging information acquisition unit 110 and the processing time calculated in step S124, and stores the cost information in the cost information storage unit 134 (step S124). S128). The cost calculation unit 130 transmits the generated cost information to the management terminal 102 (step S130).
　本実施形態によっても、第２の実施形態と同様の効果を得ることができる。また、ＩａａＳサイト２００の料金体系は、インスタンスサイズによって変わるのがほとんどである。本実施形態によれば、情報処理装置１００のユーザは、インスタンスサイズ別に複数のＩａａＳサイト２００のコストを比較することができる。このため、情報処理装置１００のユーザは、最もコストパフォーマンスの良い条件を選択することができる。 Also in this embodiment, the same effect as that of the second embodiment can be obtained. In addition, the fee structure of the IaaS site 200 is mostly changed depending on the instance size. According to the present embodiment, the user of the information processing apparatus 100 can compare the costs of a plurality of IaaS sites 200 for each instance size. For this reason, the user of the information processing apparatus 100 can select a condition with the best cost performance.
