A management server includes: a memory; a communication interface coupled to a plurality of servers having a server processor and a non-volatile memory; and a management processor coupled to the memory and the communication interface. Data is written to the non-volatile memory by the server processor in accordance with startup of a program. The memory is configured to store a limit value of a cumulative write amount of the non-volatile memory. The management processor receives a cumulative write amount of the non-volatile memory from each of the plurality of servers and calculates, when a startup request for requesting startup of a first program is received, an evaluation value of the non-volatile memory in each server based on the limit value and the cumulative write amount, selects one startup server based on the evaluation values, and transmits an execution request for requesting startup of the first program to the startup server.
