Each of a plurality of storage systems in a distributed storage system is provided with: a strong-consistency-control processor which controls data synchronization that ensures consistency of duplicated data; a weak-consistency-control processor which controls data synchronization that does not necessarily ensure consistency of the duplicated data; an access-switching processor which determines a redundancy number corresponding to the number of storage systems having duplicated data stored thereon, selects in accordance with the characteristics of the duplicated data and the position of a terminal issuing the I/O request, storage systems of a number corresponding to the redundancy number, and selectively determines, as the control for the data synchronization, one from among the strong-consistency-control processor, the weak-consistency-control processor, and consistency control unnecessary; and an I/O processor which executes, on the basis of the determined control for the data synchronization, the I/O request for the duplicated data in the selected storage systems. |
