There is provided a network storage system where the network storages are connected to clients. The system is resistive to faults and enables to access using the standard protocol such as the NFS. And moreover, the clients can access without consciousness on the interface even when the process is executed in any network storage. In order to attain the object, when a client has issued an access request to a first network storage (A01), the first network storage transfers the received request to a directory server storing file management information (A02). The directory server selects a second network storage to process the request and transfers this request to the second network storage (A03). The second network storage processes such request and transmits a packet to the client to suggest as if the process has been executed in the first network storage as a response result (A04).
