Protecting Digital Future of Nigeria through Disaster Recovery, as Perceived by Galaxy Backbone
Galaxy Backbone's Disaster Recovery Services Bolster Nigerian Resilience
In the face of growing cyber threats and digital interdependence, Galaxy Backbone (GBB), Nigeria's federal digital infrastructure and shared services provider, is championing disaster recovery services as a strategic necessity for both public and private organizations.
GBB's offerings focus on secure ICT infrastructure combined with rapid failover capabilities, ensuring seamless continuity and quick recovery of operations in the event of disruptions or cyber threats. The company's data centres, located in Abuja and Kano, are built to global standards with fault-tolerant architecture and certified at Tier III level for high availability and reliability.
These data centres offer secure hosting, off-site replication, and high-availability systems. Key features include state-of-the-art data center facilities, a Network Operations Centre (NOC) and Security Operations Centre (SOC) to monitor and safeguard digital infrastructure continuously, live backup systems, dedicated disaster recovery units, and power backup systems (UPS infrastructure) to prevent downtime caused by power disruptions.
GBB's services are designed to help maintain uninterrupted public services for government agencies while supporting regulatory compliance, and to provide businesses with resilience against data loss or downtime. The data centres are supported by ISO 22301-certified business continuity frameworks prioritizing operational resilience and data sovereignty.
Proactive planning, internal training, and continuous testing are emphasized by GBB beyond technology. The company urges Nigerian institutions to prepare for disruptions, not as hypothetical risks, but as inevitable events. The question raised by GBB is not if disruption will happen, but whether organizations are prepared to recover.
For businesses, GBB's services offer reduced downtime, lower financial losses, and increased trust. For government agencies, GBB's disaster recovery services help maintain uninterrupted public services and regulatory compliance. The company's goal is not just to protect data, but to future-proof Nigeria's digital journey.
Disaster recovery is no longer just an IT service, but a business continuity strategy according to GBB. The threat of data loss exists across all sectors due to cyberattacks, hardware failures, human error, and natural disasters. By leveraging GBB's services, clients can recover operations quickly and safely within Nigeria's borders, safeguarding digital assets and the reputation of organizations.
