Oracle Data Integrity helps in the Linux Kernel

.

Oracle has contributed code to protect the integrity of the data, some of which have been developed by the hardware company, Emulex, to the Linux kernel. Oracle code will help memaintain integrity of the data as the movement of information from applications to the database, and the Linux operating system to disk storage. The code also has a minimal data error when data is written to disk.
According to Scott McIntyre, Vice President product marketing at Emulex, Emulex seeks to help data center administrators to track and store the address of the corrupted data quickly, so to save costs and time. Oracle and Emulex, two companies that make products to connect to the server, network and storage systems, has developed programs to help the adopter customers to be able to work with the features of the integrity of the data.
A Redmonk Analyst, Stephen O'Grady said that when the movement is enough information through various aspects of the system is running very fast, then the integrity of the data can be disrupted. At the same time, data integrity will become a more vital especially when the system grow large. However, the contribution of improvisation, such as Oracle announced that the code is only one of the features that are able to maintain the integrity of the data, and will work on Linux file system, although still in development.
Btrfs Project, is now still in development under the open soure GPL license, which was first developed by Oracle. Oracle is a key contributor code, and work with other large vendors to do this project, the Linux kernel.
