Lightweight Virtualized Environments (LVE)

LVE is an isolation technology that limits and controls the amount of resources (CPU, entry processes and memory) available to a specific process or user. This allows for increased server density, greater stability and enhanced reliability.

LVE Wrappers

LVE wrappers are a set of tools allowing system administrators to run various users, programs & daemons within a Lightweight Virtual Environment. This allows system administrators to have fine control over the system resources allocated to a program. Additionally, it prevents misbehaving programs running within LVE from draining system resources and taking down the whole system. The tools are provided by lve-wrappers RPM.

Secure LVE

SecureLVE extends LVE isolation to each user’s file system. Through virtualization, each user’s file system is effectively isolated into its own environment preventing one user from seeing any other users or their files on the server. This creates a new level of security, making it much more difficult for hackers to attack, deface, or steal data from a shared hosting server.

MySQL Governors

MySQL Governors monitor MySQL users restricting their connectivity if they start using more than their allocated resources. This tool comes with a utility to view current usage giving unprecedented control and visibility of MySQL usage, significantly diminishing the number of support issues caused by MySQL abuse.
