Galaxy Backbone's Kano data centre is the secondary site of Nigeria's federal government shared-services provider. The operator describes it as a Tier IV facility that backs up the primary National Shared Services Center in the Federal Capital Territory, which it calls the only Uptime Institute Certified Tier III data center in the nation's public sector. Uptime Institute's award register lists the Kano site with a Tier IV Certification of Constructed Facility. Galaxy Backbone's data centre services page covers colocation of servers, cloud backup, cloud storage and disaster recovery, and states that operations comply with ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011. The page publishes capacity figures such as a 128-rack footprint and 825 kW of power for its data centre services in general, but does not say which of the two sites they refer to, so no site-level power, rack or area figures are recorded for Kano. The operator does not publish an opening year for the Kano building.
