Continuous Data Protection
Lasso
Product Features
Continuous Data Protection: Lasso CDP replicates data in real-time, capturing all new, changed and deleted
information at any point in time. There are no backup windows to that leave data exposed to data lossa
serious risk that exists with most other backup solutions. Lasso CDP’s continuous data protection works even
when users are on their laptops working remotely.
Offsite Backup: Offsite backup protects businesses against power
surges, theft, server crashes, viruses and other disasters. Unlike
cumbersome tape or CD processes, Lasso CDP provides hands-
free offsite backup to a secure data center, to a business’ remote
office or other third-party site. Lasso CDP’s intelligent and
proprietary Adaptive Backup Engine (ABE) monitors and
recognizes a business’ Internet usage patterns so that it may
complete offsite backups only when network usage is at its lowest.
Instant Recovery and Unlimited File Versions: Lasso CDP saves every version of every file, not just the latest
version. Therefore, any user on the network can instantly retrieve previous versions of a document, even after
they have saved over it. Users can go back to any point in time – minutes, hours, days or more!
Security: Data is secured by the same 128-bit secure socket layer (SSL) encryption technologies implemented
by major financial institutions and government agencies. Lasso CDP also utilizes public-key encryption and
digital certificates as an additional layer of protection. Finally, every Lasso CDP customer has secure email
address & password authentication.
Remote Access: Remote access is included for travelers, telecommuters and anyone who works while they’re
away from the office. Lasso CDP enables users to have instant and secure access to their data. Using any
Internet-enabled device, users can login at www.lassologic.com and gain access to their local data.
File Sharing: Share folders and files with an unlimited number of partners, clients, employees and peers. Network
administrators are able to name specific areas of the Lasso CDP that each user has access to when they login
using individualized IDs and passwords.
Intelligent Applications: Lasso CDP integrates a collection of intelligent software applications on top of its ABE.
One such application is a backup reporting tool, which provides constant visual data backup verification. The
tool places a highlighted Lasso stamp on each protected file so the user knows that the backup system is
working. Plans include another intelligent application – remote administrationas a simple-to-operate web-
based management interface that enables Lasso CDP to be configured and managed remotely.
Application Support: Lasso CDP supports most business applications including Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server
ACT!, Goldmine, QuickBooks, Peachtree, Outlook, and Outlook Express, as well as most industry specific
applications. It also supports open files, Microsoft Small Business Server, and other database packages including
Microsoft Access, DBASE, and MYSQL.
HIPAA Compliant: By combining the advantages of real-time local disk-based backup (fast recovery) with
offsite backup (insurance against local disasters), Lasso CDP is the first solution to eliminate (not just mitigate)
exposure to HIPAA infringement. HIPAA requires that healthcare records be maintained for six (6) years.
Unfortunately, tapes degrade more than 40% during the first five years.
