Abstract

Based on information that is transmitted to a UPS communication part by UPSs connected to an information processing apparatus, a UPS monitoring part monitors the states of the UPSs. A UPS control part employs the monitoring results to generate control information for controlling the state of at least one of the UPSs, and permits the UPS communication part to transmit the control information to the UPS that is to be controlled. The present invention can be applied for a computer having a redundant power supply function.
