Abstract
An input/output control unit switches modes between a parallel access mode in which a plurality of I/O interfaces, to which a plurality of external storage devices are connected, are collectively controlled as if they were a single interface and an individual access mode in which the plurality of interfaces are individually controlled. Data can be distributed or combined when transmitted between the external storage devices and a network.
