This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.

Lasso Logic was a company formed in 2003 that pioneered continuous data protection (CDP) and a onsite / offsite backup technology for the small and medium enterprise market (SME) before it was acquired by SonicWALL in November, 2005. Lasso Logic became the third of three business divisions at SonicWALL, now called the Business Continuity Unit. Lasso CDP is now called SonicWALL CDP.
Lasso Logic was the first company to provide a disk-based continuous data protection appliance, called Lasso CDP, that continually backed up servers, applications, PCs, and laptops to itself in real time. This allowed users who lost files to go back to any point in time, from minutes ago to years ago. Before Lasso Logic, the only backup options were single point in time (SPIT) snapshot software that allowed IT administrators to backup to tape or to disk, usually at a resolution of once a day. The value proposition of the company was 'set it and forget it' backup, thus eliminating the labor burden of tape based backup.
The company was also the first to introduce onsite and offsite backup in a single device. Lasso CDP continuously backed up data to itself, but then replicated data to an offsite location. This allowed for instant recovery of data because the files were stored locally on the Lasso CDP appliance. However, in the event of a total loss of data locally, including the Lasso CDP appliance, the customer could pull the data back from Lasso's offsite data center.
