Load balancing apparatus
First Claim
1. A load balancing apparatus that distributes a biometrics authentication request output from a client device to one of authenticating devices that perform biometrics authentication in accordance with performance property of each authenticating device and a load thereon that changes depending on a processing situation, the load balancing apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit that stores therein information on load evaluation indicative of load arising from particular processing in the biometric authentication; and
a destination deciding unit that decides a destination of the biometrics authentication request based on the information on load evaluation present in the storage unit, the performance property, and the load.
