Data Scrubbing

Data Integrity is a high priority in computer data writing, reading, storage, transmission, or processing, computer operating systems and computer storage and transmission systems. However, it is known that Hardware RAID has some issues with data integrity and that none of the currently widespread file systems provide sufficient protection against Data corruption. To adress this, Data scrubbing is a method in information technology for routine checks of all inconsistencies in data and, in general, a prevention of hardware or software failure. This 'scrubbing' feature is commonly used in memory, disk arrays, FPGAs or file systems as a mechanism of data error detection and correction.

Famous quotes containing the words data and/or scrubbing:

    This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    For my people lending their strength to the years: to the gone
    years and the now years and the maybe years, washing ironing cooking scrubbing sewing mending hoeing plowing digging planting pruning patching dragging along never gaining never reaping never knowing and never understanding;
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
