What is ProBalance? Also known as 'Process Balance', it is a way to dynamically adjust the priority of running processes so that badly behaved programs do not degrade system responsiveness. More info...


Example: Process Lasso's ProBalance improves system responsiveness (green) during a high load via process priority optimization.

The ultimate tool for Terminal Servers (or any Server)
Keep your Server responsive by enforcing process rules with almost zero overhead!

If you're like our typical customers, you've found that your server (e.g. Terminal Server) is being monopolized by one or more processes, and dismayed to learn that it can bring your entire system to a near halt. The good news is that Process Lasso Server Edition is perfect for your needs! Its ProBalance function dynamically lowers the priority of out-of-control processes until they return to acceptable CPU usage levels. In addition, you can configure it to change the CPU affintiies of offending processes.

Give it a try for yourself. We have a graphical demo, a simple CPU eating application that runs at normal priority. Try it without Process Lasso, then with. Alternatively, devise your own experiment - a while(1) loop will do it.

Since server administrators need to evaluate the full capabilities of the product, we offer a trial edition of Process Lasso Pro. This is the Server Edition: A timed trial of Process Lasso Pro. It includes all features of the software, but will expire after 30 days. Upon expiration, you should purchase a license from the Process Lasso commercial licensing page.

Process Lasso is perfect for severs (i.e. Terminal servers, Web servers, File servers). Process Lasso will prevent processes from monopolizing the server. The core engine (ProcessGovernor.exe) can run all by itself, without the GUI management console. Even better, the core engine can run as a service to ensure its started at system boot without requiring user login.

Process Lasso runs on all editions of Windows 2000, XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, and Windows 7.
