3. Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) is the management company for five major newspapers – The
Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday, The Evening Standard, London Metro, Irish Mail on Sunday, and the
advertising publication Loot. The company is based in Kensington and produces the southern editions
of its titles at its Docklands plant.
ANL had installed Oracle RAC database technology and wanted to put a robust disaster recovery
solution in place utilizing Oracle DataGuard technology. The system would have to deliver full
resilience and 24/7 availability in order to meet tight, daily newspaper deadlines.
NCS provides proactive, round-the-clock support in conjunction with ANL staff, together with on-
demand consultancy services. This reduces ANL’s costs while providing a specialist technical resource
for a mission-critical system as and when needed. To achieve this level of service, we built standby
databases on site and synchronized these with the live production RAC. This involved creating a
standby setup in which we connected RAC to two separate RAC standbys at two different locations
using Oracle DataGuard Broker.

deployed. Daily checks are also sent to the client about the Database performance, Disk
