Abstract

A storage system includes: an identification information providing means that provides identification information distinguishing a group of data requested to be stored, to the group of data; a data set generating means that divides storage target data as part of the group of data into multiple pieces and makes the data redundant, thereby generating a data set composed of multiple fragment data; and a distribution storage controlling means that distributes the fragment data composing the data set and store the fragment data, respectively, in same positions within storage regions formed in the respective storing means, thereby storing the storage target data. The distribution storage controlling means stores the fragment data composing respective data sets corresponding to multiple storage target data included in the group of data provided with the same identification information, into the respective storage regions so that storing positions within the respective storage regions become successive.
