A communication device reducing the processing time to install data on a disc storage medium onto multiple servers is provided. A protocol serializer 10 of a communication device 5 serializes read requests received from servers A1 to A2 for target data stored on a disc storage medium K in a processing order. A cache controller 11 determines whether the target data corresponding to the read requests are present in a cache memory 4 in the order of serialized read requests and, if present, receives the target data from the cache memory 4 via a memory controller 12. If not present, the cache controller 11 acquires the target data from the disc storage medium K via a DVD/CD controller 13. Then, the protocol serializer 10 sends the target data acquired by the cache controller 11 to the server of the transmission source of the read request corresponding to the target data. |
