7. A multi-server system, comprising:
multiple servers, each of the multiple servers having an efficiency distribution of a power supply unit, the efficiency distribution including a working efficiency of the power supply unit varied according to a utilization ratio of the power supply unit, wherein each of the multiple servers includes a baseboard management controller (BMC), and the BMC is configured to measure the efficiency distribution of the power supply unit; and
a manager, configured to retrieve the efficiency distribution of the power supply unit of each of the multiple servers, wherein, the manager is further configured to perform load balancing based at least in part on the efficiency distribution of the power supply unit of one or more of the multiple servers to reduce a total power consumption of the multiple servers.
