The present invention obtains with high precision, in a storage system, the effect of additional installation or removal of cache memory, that is, the change of the cache hit rate and the performance of the storage system at that time. For achieving this, when executing normal cache control in the operational environment of the storage system, the cache hit rate when the cache memory capacity has changed is also obtained. Furthermore, with reference to the obtained cache hit rate, the peak performance of the storage system is obtained. Furthermore, with reference to the target performance, the cache memory and the number of disks and other resources that are additionally required are obtained.
