Oracle, Emulex Protect Data

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. -- Delivering on its commitment to advance Linux for the enterprise, Oracle today announced the contribution of data integrity protection code to the Linux community.

The contributed open source code helps ensure comprehensive data integrity is maintained as data moves from application to database, and from Linux operating system to disk storage.

The new code enables Linux to provide additional check points and helps eliminate silent data corruption by reducing the potential for incorrect data to be written to the disk, decreasing application and database errors and system down-time.
