A streaming server program delivers the content from an original content storage area in a storage apparatus, and a server computer monitors the content delivery status and creates, in a pool storage area, replicated data of the content that satisfies replicated content creation and deletion standards. Upon delivery of the replicated content, an attempt is made to resolve a delivery bottleneck by delivering data from both the original and pool storage areas. Burdens on the administrator are reduced according to the present invention by automatically detecting concentration of accesses or flash crowd and automatically replicating the whole or part of the content, thereby eliminating the need for prediction.
