Proof of Conceptand the engineering of ProBalance
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.

Process Lasso is the ultimate companion to servers of all types. For Terminal Servers it can help ensure no user monopolizes the CPU. For all types of servers its ProBalance algorithm can improve responsiveness, and the automated process control can allow you to tweak running processes in ways never before possible. 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.
We talk about ProBalance a lot for home users, but for server users there are lots of other useful features. First, ProBalance can prevent monopolization of Terminal Servers. It has shown remarkable efficiency at doing this, which is why Process Lasso is now in use at many corporations and municipalities, both large and small. Although it arguably has the most benefit on Terminal Servers, it benefits any type of server with multiple users, or that depends on being responsive to new requests.
Further, licensing compliance (of other software) can be enforced with instance count limits. Disallowed processes can give you control over what is allowed to run on your servers and workstations. CPU affinity management can let you dedicate certain CPUs to specific processes. The possibilities are endless.
We often support our commercial clients with custom functions and features. We go above and beyond any company you've met - at least considering the price! We can do this because of our work ethic and low administrative overhead. We are simple a very nimble, small company. As we grow, we hope to remain this nimble, as we feel it is our competitive advantage - not to mention our trade secrets and years of real-world tuning of our algorithms.

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 our proprietary ProBalance algorithm you make server micro-lags and stalls a thing of the past. You don't have to take the word of our metric though, try our 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. Yes, we here at Bitsum specialize in low-level code -- so you won't see us hogging your resources.
Best of all, Process Lasso has an independent core engine that (ProcessGovernor) that can run as a service or normal elevated process. Some people prefer services, while in the post-XP world of Task Scheduler 2, others prefer running it as a normal process.
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.
The core engine (ProcessGovernor.exe) can run all by itself, without the GUI management console. It can optionally be configured to run as a service, or set itself up in the Windows Task Scheduler. Custom usage is simple and command line switches are provided for even greater control.
Process Lasso runs on all editions of Windows with NT kernels (all modern editions).

Process Lasso is already in use at many major corporations and even an entire state government. If you have any concerns, we'll address them. We get our corporate clients set up, and keep them that way. If they need new features, we provide if possible.
