The Challenge
The National Archives of the United Kingdom is one of the world’s largest records repositories, holding more than 11 million records, spanning the Magna
Carta to modern government papers. The organization not only keeps its collection secure and available to the public, it also conducts significant research
ensuring government records remain accessible for decades to come.
The National Archives launched an online catalogue of its collection in 1998. Since then, the catalogue has more than doubled in size and the organization
has designed and implemented a number of home-grown systems to improve the accessibility and maintenance of its growing collection.
In 2010, The National Archives decided to move to a standardized Service Oriented Architecture framework to reduce maintenance costs and provide the
flexibility to add new services in the future. “Because we had built a number of different systems over the years to support online content and services, our
architecture didn’t have a single platform to build on for future services, including e-commerce and expanding the amount of data we hold in our system,”
said Aleksandr Drozdov, Enterprise Architect at The National Archives. “We wanted to take a new approach to our organization’s information architecture
for internal and external customers, and we needed a solution that would enable us to do this quickly and affordably.”
As a result of this new approach, The National Archives’ launched the Discovery Service in March 2011.

The Solution
The team began searching for a solution that would support their unique
environment and requirements. They planned for The National Archives’
new business architecture model to be based in WCF and wanted a service
bus that would support their .NET environment. They also needed a solution
that had a strong API to share and open data for all their users. And of
course, time and budget were major factors in their choice.
“We looked at a range of commercial products, but found that it would take
too long to implement them for this project,” said Aleksandr. “We also
explored open source solutions, but there were just too many issues around
maintenance and support capabilities, including for WCF, and many of them
are made for Java users – not what we needed in our organization.
Neuron·ESB was the right choice for us.”
Neuron·ESB from Neudesic is an enterprise service bus designed to
simplify messaging, system integration and Web service enablement. With
Neuron·ESB, companies can eliminate the need for additional development
and operational costs by putting their existing skills to use through a
.NET-friendly API. Additionally, Neuron·ESB provides a topic-based publish
and subscribe model, complex message processing, and powerful web
services and REST support.
“Neuron·ESB was easy to deploy and use, which was one of our
requirements,” said Aleksandr. “We were able to deploy quickly and make
Neuron the core of The National Archives’ new SOA framework. The new
Discovery service is built on this framework.”
Scalability
Through performance testing, The National Archives team has assured that
Neuron·ESB will be able to scale as the organization’s architecture
continues to grow. “New records are constantly being added to our data
stores that need to be accessed from our website. Additionally, we want to
continue to improve the online experience of our external customers,
including educational and e-commerce services. And lastly, we need to
ensure our internal customers – business units within The National Archives
– have access to the critical data they need to meet requirements and
explore new opportunities. We are confident that we will be able to do all of
this thanks to Neuron·ESB,” said Aleksandr.
