Case Study: Wellington College achieves real-time OneNote and Office 365 recovery and saves 30 IT hours/month with Barracuda Essentials from Barracuda Networks

Wellington College Adds Essentials to Its Barracuda Security Portfolio

Wellington College, a long-established independent school in Crowthorne, England, with about 1,045 students and roughly 2,500 end users, is a leader in digital learning that relies heavily on Office 365, SharePoint, and OneNote. With a small IT team and tight budgets, the college faced frequent, time-consuming incidents of accidentally deleted OneNote data and needed a very simple, reliable way to protect and restore student and staff content.

The college implemented Barracuda Essentials, which was quick to install and easy for the seven-person IT team to manage. Essentials delivered fast, granular recovery—often restoring data in real time during class—saved about 30 hours of IT staff time per month, consolidated Office 365 security, backup, and archiving into a single pane of glass, and provided a straightforward recovery path after a ransomware incident.
