Lasso Logic Signs More than 40 Distribution Agreements in Two MonthsSuccess Underscores Weaknesses of Tape Backup

A leading continuous data protection software provider, Lasso Logic, announces success of its VAR program. Success underscores industry's need for solutions to replace tape backup systems.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 3, 2005 -- Lasso Logic (www.lassologic.com), a provider of disk-based continuous data protection software, announced that it has signed more than 40 distribution agreements and has almost an equal number of agreements pending since launching its Partner Program in April 2005. The Lasso Logic Partner Program (LLPP) is directed at value-added resellers, IT consultants, system integrators and network administrators that service small-to-medium businesses (SMB).

The rapid growth of the number of partners participating in the LLPP has been driven by demand for the Company’s continuous data protection technology and its local and offsite backup capabilities. Further, partners are attracted to the recurring revenue, high profit margin and extensive sell-through support capabilities that are part of the LLPP. Finally, a confluence of events, including the growing number of backup tape thefts, highly publicized tape backup failures, enforcement of new government regulations (HIPAA and Sarbannes-Oxley) and the increasing value of data stored on individual PCs and corporate networks has educated the public about the inherent weaknesses of tape backup systems and has led IT professionals to search for better alternatives.

“One of the most interesting attributes of Lasso CDP for us is its remote administration capabilities, which eliminates the need for our staff to travel on-site to customer locations and allows them to provide better service to more customers within a day,” said David Haltermon, President of TCM Solutions. “TCM Solutions does not resell products but Lasso CDP is so strong and compelling that we are making an exception.”

“We are delighted to be working with such a stellar list of partners who are clearly visionaries and leaders in their field,” said Steve Goodman, Chief Executive Officer of Lasso Logic. “We expect that our zero-touch, tapeless and hassle-free backup solution, Lasso CDP, will contribute significantly to our partners’ bottom line while fully serving their customers’ needs.”

Lasso CDP leverages an intelligent backup storage architecture to protect businesses against large and small data disasters. The software utilizes a two-step backup process that replicates data both onsite and offsite automatically and without any manual intervention. Lasso CDP will be launched on June 15, 2005.
