Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions 9.0 Feature Pack 1

Providing Richer Constituent Information and a Pathway to SOA

Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions 9.0 Feature Pack 1

The most valuable administrative information a college or university collects is knowledge about its constituents—the individuals and external organizations that interact with the institution. Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions 9.0 Feature Pack 1 will help institutions extend and enrich the quality of that information, while continuing to provide a pathway to service-oriented architecture (SOA). And, when it comes to helping higher education customers get better information at a lower cost, the medium is the message. With Feature Pack 1, Oracle has launched a continuous delivery model for PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions. Under this unique and innovative model, Oracle plans to deliver future application feature packs for PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions in periodic intervals. The idea is to enable higher education institutions to avoid major upgrades—which can be expensive and disruptive—by creating a more incremental and flexible innovation cycle. read more

Q&A with Martin K. Petersen

Consulting Software Developer, Linux Kernel Engineering

Q:Why is the technology of Linux data integrity extensions innovative?

A:Most existing data integrity schemes allow detection of corruption when you eventually read data back from disk. However, that could be months after the data was written and the good copy in system memory is long gone. Our technology enables us to protect the integrity of an I/O request from the time the data is created in memory until it is physically stored on the disk. Should an error occur while the I/O is in flight, we have the opportunity to retry the request while we still have the data in memory. This can be done without interrupting the application at all. This is a crucial feature in a lot of business-critical deployments where even brief downtime can be extremely expensive. read more
