BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/12 -- Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), today announced the publication of new research reports from its IT Infrastructure, Finanacial Management, and Enterprise Applications research practices.

"The Role of Fault-Tolerant Servers in Protecting Virtualized Applications," one of three reports authored this month by Dick Csaplar, Senior Research Analyst for the Aberdeen IT Infrastructure/ Virtualization and the Cloud research practice, reveals application downtime still impacts the vast majority of companies. There are four major classes of application protection technologies.

Next from Csaplar, "Test and Dev: The Beachhead Application for Public Cloud" shows that test and development applications have unique characteristics that make them ideal candidates to be deployed in the Public Cloud. Test and dev applications are managed by very sophisticated users, are deployed on virtualized servers, use cloned or dummy data and generally use burst of computing resources. These attributes are ideal for using computing resources provided by 3rd party Cloud providers.
