Abstract

There is provided a personal information collection system, achieved in a cloud environment, for storing data processed in a collection operation of personal information to provide the stored data in accordance with a request, the personal information collection system comprising: a group of business base servers provided at every business base for performing the collection operation, wherein only accesses from corresponding business base to the group of business base servers are allowed; and a group of data accumulation servers configured to gather data stored in the group of business base servers.

Claims

1. A personal information collection system, achieved in a cloud environment, for storing data processed in a collection operation of personal information to provide the stored data in accordance with a request, the personal information collection system comprising:

a group of business base servers provided at every business base for performing the collection operation, wherein only accesses from corresponding business base to the group of business base servers are allowed; and

a group of data accumulation servers configured to gather data stored in the group of business base servers.

2. The personal information collection system as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the group of business base servers includes:

a plurality of load balancers configured to distribute a workload of the group of business base servers;

a plurality of application servers configured to provide functions for performing the collection operation;

a plurality of database servers configured to provide database function; and

a virtual storage.

3. The personal information collection system as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the group of data accumulation servers includes:

a plurality of load balancers configured to distribute a workload of the group of data accumulation servers;

a plurality of application servers configured to provide functions for performing the collection operation;

a plurality of database servers configured to provide database function; and

a virtual storage.

4. A personal information collection method performed by personal information collection system, achieved in a cloud environment, for storing data processed in a collection operation of personal information to provide the stored data in accordance with a request, the method comprising:

inputting or outputting data between a group of business base servers and an information processing apparatus, wherein the group of business base servers is provided at every business base for performing the collection operation, and only accesses from corresponding business base to the group of business base servers are allowed, the information processing apparatus being provided at the corresponding business base; and

gathering data stored in the group of business base servers into a group of data accumulation servers.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer included in a personal information collection system to perform a method, the personal information collection system achieved in a cloud environment storing data processed in a collection operation of personal information to provide the stored data in accordance with a request, the method comprising:

inputting or outputting data between a group of business base servers and an information processing apparatus, wherein the group of business base servers is provided at every business base for performing the collection operation, and only accesses from corresponding business base to the group of business base servers are allowed, the information processing apparatus being provided at the corresponding business base; and

gathering data stored in the group of business base servers into a group of data accumulation servers.
