A service AP conducting ordinary business processing is executed on a
first OS. The first OS includes an operation recording controller for
recording operation conducted by the first OS as operation recording
information together with time when the operation is conducted, and an
auxiliary driver for accepting and executing external processing. A
multi-OS controller interface included in a second OS, which is higher in
reliability than the first OS, operates a multi-OS controller from an AP
operating on the second OS. An analysis and prediction AP operating on
the second OS analyzes states of the first OS and the service AP, and
detects a failure sign. Upon detecting a failure sign, degrade operation
of the OS or service AP to be analyzed, preparations for switching from
an active system to a stand-by system, and actual switching are conducted
before the failure occurs.
