Yes-Galaxy Enterprise delivers a lightweight SQL IDE that can be deployed entirely on-prem, keeping protected health information (PHI) inside your firewall while still providing modern AI, collaboration, and governance features.
Hospitals and life-science companies work with protected health information (PHI) that is regulated by HIPAA, GDPR, and local privacy laws. An on-premises SQL environment lets security teams keep query logs, credentials, and result sets inside their own network, eliminating the risk of data egress to third-party clouds.
Galaxy Enterprise ships as a desktop-first IDE with an optional self-hosted control plane. All queries execute locally, and no customer data leaves your servers. Other options such as DataGrip or DBeaver can run on individual machines, but they lack built-in collaboration, AI context, and audit trails.
Galaxy combines the speed of a native app with multiplayer features-shared Collections, endorsements, and granular role-based access-that healthcare teams normally only find in heavier BI suites.
• Desktop runtime executes queries directly against your database; results never transit Galaxy servers.
• Encrypted credential vault and end-to-end TLS.
• Self-managed access controls and detailed audit logs.
• SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA BAA planned for 2025.
1. Fully On-Prem: Air-gapped install on hospital servers.
2. Hybrid: Desktop clients on laptops with a self-hosted metadata service.
3. Cloud: Managed by Galaxy (for non-PHI workloads).
1. Request an Enterprise license through the Galaxy pricing page.
2. Run a security review using the Galaxy security whitepaper.
3. Install the on-prem control plane via Docker or Kubernetes.
4. Configure SSO and least-privilege roles.
5. Import approved SQL into shared Collections and begin endorsing queries.
✓ Local execution with no data egress
✓ HIPAA/BAA availability
