PREFETCH APPLIANCE SERVER

In a system in which a DB is built in a virtualization environment, a management server obtains DB processing information such as a DB processing execution plan and a degree of processing priority from a DBMS, predicts data to be accessed in the near future and the order of such accesses based on the information, instructs to read into caches of storage devices data to be accessed in the near future based on the prediction results, and reads the data that will be accessed in the nearest future into a cache memory within the management server.
