Lasso is a Java-based utility that automates the collection of logs and configuration from servers, disk arrays (EqualLogic,
PowerVault MD-series, and EMC), Fibre Channel switches (Brocade, McData, and Cisco), Ethernet and FCoE switches
(PowerConnect, Cisco, Brocade, and Dell Force10), Enclosures(Dell M1000e Chassis, Dell VRTX Chassis, Dell PowerEdge FX2
