Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) is a component ofWindows Serveroperating systems that enables the allocation of resources, includingCPU andmemory resources, among multiple applications based on business priorities. An administrator sets targets for the amount of hardware resources that running applications or users are allowed to consume. It can allocate resources among multiple applications on a server according to defined policies. This can be helpful in a corporate environment when, for example, a well-behavedapp has to co-exist with an application that has amemory leak. Without protection such as afforded by WSRM, the app runs more slowly and eventually crashes, because the misbehaving app eventually causes problems that affect every app that shares itsmemory space. With WSRM, an app can be limited to an isolated subset of hardware resources. As a result of this, the bad effects caused by the memory leak is limited to that subset.

WSRM is deprecated starting withWindows Server 2012. Microsoft recommends the use ofHyper-V as an alternative that provides similar functionality.^[1]
