Benefits of resource management

Because Windows Server 2008 R2 is designed to give as many resources as possible to non-operating system tasks, a server running a single role usually does not require resource management. However, when multiple applications and services are installed on a single server, they are not aware of competing processes. An unmanaged application or service will typically use all available resources to complete a task. Thus, it is important to use a tool such as Windows System Resource Manager to manage system resources on multipurpose servers. Using Windows System Resource Manager provides two key benefits:

• More services can run on a single server because service availability can be improved through dynamically managed resources.
  
• High-priority users or system administrators can access the system even during times of maximum resource load.
