Process Lasso Server 5.1.0.27

The isolated core engine (processgovernor.exe) can run without the GUI, making it entirely invisible to the user interface if desired. A password can be set to protect the configuration file. The core engine can be run any number of ways; an instance for every user, a single global instance, or run as a service.

Process Lasso Pro Server Edition is currently already in use by many major corporations on servers of various types (mostly Terminal Servers). They use it because they are tired of seeing non-critical normal priority process(es) bring server responsiveness down to near zero. With the proprietary ProBalance algorithm you make server micro-lags and stalls a thing of the past. You don't have to take the word of the metric though, try the graphical demo for yourself.

Process Lasso offers several compelling features for network administrators. They have control over which processes are run, their priorities, CPU affinities, maximum running instances, and much more. While it is theoretically possible that scripting languages could accomplish some of what Process Lasso does, they are very slow and cumbersome in comparison to tight native C++ without any abstraction layers.  

Major Features:

1. ProBalance
   • Balance process priorities in a safe, effective manner improve responsiveness and prevent monopolization by any single user during high loads! Don't buy a new server just to deal with the occasional spike!
2. Unattended Install
   • The silent (unattended) install support allows you to supply all settings on the command line of the installer. From there, it handles everything, without needing any additional user interface or promtps unless an error occurs.
3. Independent Core Engine
   • This core engine (the governor) is what actually does the work. It can operate in the background as either a normal process *or* as a service. By having only it start, there is no user interface or system tray icon. The GUI can be launched on-demand as needed for ocnfiguration changes.
4. Multi-user friendly
   • Designed from the ground up for use in multi-user environments!
5. Reduces Total Cost of Ownership
   • Less unresponsive servers and more control equals less downtime and less maintenance of your server, in addition to delaying new hardware purchases just to have to deal with spikes in load! Best of all, the software is orders of magnitude cheaper than competitors (if there are any viable ones), and much more effective in the opinion (and the opinion of many, if not all, of the customers).
6. Process Watchdog
   • Terminate, restart, or change CPU affinity when a specified threshold is met
7. Enforce Maximum Instances of Applications
   • Limit processes to a specified number of instances per user, or per machine -- allowing easy license compliance and enforcement
8. I/O Priorities
   • For Vista and above you can set the current or default/persistent I/O priority of processes
9. Auto-terminate, Sticky priorities, Sticky affinities, etc...
   • Set default priorities and CPU affinities, disallow processes from running, and log events on your system
10. Multi-Core Optimization
    • Through default CPU affinities and ProBalance affinity adjustments, you can optimize your multi-core processor to make the most efficient use of your CPUs (cores). It also offers logical core avoidance to improve performance of certain applications on HyperThreaded CPUs.
11. No System Registry Values Changed
    • Process Lasso makes NO registry or system setting changes. It does have advanced tools that will enable YOU to make changes if you choose, but developers generally do not recommend it (and say so in warnings). Note Process Lasso does store some of its own data in the registry, and they are speaking only of system registry values.
12. Minimal Resource Use
    • Written in native C++ and continually refined for maximum efficiency (native 64-bit build also available)
13. Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Ready
    • Compatible with Windows 7, but maintains full backwards compatibility
14. No scripting
    • Why write highly inefficient and cumbersome scripts when you can have native code efficiently applying the rules you want?
15. Select Multiple Processes at Once
    • Want to terminate 5 different processes at once? Or set their current or sticky priority class or CPU affinity? No problem. Select multiple processes and work with them.
