Galaxy Backbone has reaffirmed its dedication to advancing secure and dependable digital governance in Nigeria through the promotion of its newly enhanced Galaxy Backbone Cloud Platform (GxCP). This specialized Government Private Cloud is designed to support the country’s public sector digital transformation, ensuring that government institutions can deliver services efficiently and securely.
As Nigerian government agencies increasingly depend on digital platforms, Galaxy Backbone emphasizes that building trust, ensuring security, and maintaining resilience are fundamental to the success of this digital evolution. Unlike generic commercial clouds, GxCP is purpose-built to meet the specific performance, data protection, and regulatory requirements of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
The platform offers scalable computing resources via Elastic Compute Services, allowing government entities to dynamically adjust capacity based on operational needs, thereby optimizing costs and avoiding waste. It supports a variety of workloads through general-purpose, compute-optimized, and memory-optimized virtual machines, ensuring consistent performance across diverse government applications.
Security and service continuity are core pillars of GxCP. The platform provides secure block and object storage, with daily and incremental backups to safeguard sensitive government data. Its built-in disaster recovery features enable rapid restoration during disruptions, helping MDAs maintain uninterrupted public service delivery.
To ensure secure and reliable access, GxCP includes VPN connectivity and intelligent load balancing, which keep applications responsive and protected as usage volumes grow. Complementary services such as GBB Cloud Mail, Enterprise Content Management, Shared Web Hosting, and Contact Plus facilitate collaboration, communication, and operational efficiency across government agencies.
Describing GxCP as Nigeria’s “government-grade cloud,” Galaxy Backbone highlights its role in building a resilient, secure, and future-ready public infrastructure. Through this platform, the company continues to strengthen Nigeria’s digital governance framework, fostering trust among citizens and institutions alike.
