摘要

The present invention prevents a server from unnecessarily starting up even if there is a flood of execution start requests for a game provided as a service by a server. In the present invention, a front end server (20) receives requests to start execution of games on at least one game server (24), each of such servers being able to execute at least one game, having a set upper limit on the total amount of resources that can be secured for executing at least one game, and, if an amount of resources corresponding to the games to be executed can be executed, executing such games. A management server (26) starts up a new game server when execution start requests are received, if the amount of resources required by the games corresponding to the execution start requests exceeds the amount of remaining resources that can be secured at all the game servers (24) that are running or are starting up at that point. The management server (26) causes one of the game servers (24) to execute game corresponding to execution start requests.
