Case Study: Global Pharmaceutical Company achieves 5x faster file recovery and 50% less backup management time with Druva

Global Pharmaceutical Company Uses Druva to Back Up Microsoft 365 and AWS Workloads After Ransomware Attack

A rapidly growing, independent global pharmaceutical services provider—whose headcount grew tenfold through acquisitions—faced a fragmented IT estate with seven on‑premises Exchange servers and multiple backup products. A 2018 ransomware attack that crippled most of the network exposed the risks of on‑prem storage and inconsistent backups, prompting the small IT team to move data to the cloud and seek a single SaaS backup solution that supported granular restores and strict multi‑region compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA).

The company deployed the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, storing isolated backups on AWS (separate from its Azure production environment) and leveraging Druva’s native multi‑geo support to protect Microsoft 365 for 3,800 users and critical AWS/Oracle workloads. The result: 5x faster file recovery, 50% less time spent managing backups, simpler compliance reporting, easy granular restores (down to a single email), and scalable, low‑administration protection that restored confidence in the organization’s resiliency.
