SonicWall acquires Lasso Logic and enKoo

SonicWall Inc, a provider of security, mobility and
productivity solutions, has acquired data backup solutions company Lasso Logic,
Inc and enKoo, a developer of remote access technology. San Francisco-based
Lasso is an early-stage company providing continuous data protection for backup
and recovery solutions, for the small and medium business (SMB) market. It's
tapeless, hands-free, appliance-based technology eliminates the need to purchase
separate backup software, hardware, servers and storage products.

With this acquisition, SonicWall claims to create profitable opportunities
for its channel partners by offering them an integrated portfolio of affordable
alternatives to complex, expensive technology. Its global network of reseller
partners will now benefit from the ability to sell an end-to-end data protection
suite from a single supplier, especially to the SMB segment.
