Case Study: Catholic Education Western Australia achieves faster Microsoft 365 recovery and 99+ years retention with Veeam

Catholic Education Western Australia protects 90,000 Microsoft 365 users with data resilience from Veeam

Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) needed to better protect its rapidly growing Microsoft 365 environment, which had expanded to more than 90,000 accounts and over 1 PB of data. Native cloud backup was no longer enough to meet CEWA’s retention, recovery, and regulatory compliance requirements, especially for sensitive student and staff data.

Veeam implemented Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, building on CEWA’s existing use of Veeam Data Platform for on-premises systems. The solution was deployed in just 40 minutes, with no user impact, and delivered 50% faster Microsoft 365 recovery plus 99+ years of data retention to strengthen compliance and cyber resilience.
