Vodacom Mozambique has officially unveiled its USD 25 million state-of-the-art data center in Matola, Maputo, marking a pivotal milestone in the country’s digital transformation and infrastructure development.
This world-class facility reaffirms Vodacom’s dedication to empowering businesses, government institutions, and the broader economy through cutting-edge technological solutions.
The facility is designed to provide a secure, high-performance environment for hosting servers and network systems, catering to the growing demand for reliable and scalable enterprise solutions. As businesses in Mozambique continue to embrace digitalization, the need for robust and future-ready infrastructure has never been greater, and Vodacom’s new data center rises to meet this challenge.
Vodacom Mozambique’s Chairman of the Board, Lucas Chachine, explained that this Tier 3 data center (the second highest among four levels of resilience) “ensures that Mozambique can store and process its data with security, efficiency, and digital sovereignty.” He mentioned that, previously, “many companies and institutions have depended on data centers located” abroad, resulting in “high costs, greater latency, less security, and less control” of the information itself.
Equipped with advanced technology and an uptime guarantee 99.982%, the facility delivers unparalleled connectivity, best-in-class data security, and outstanding energy efficiency. It offers a resilient platform capable of supporting mission-critical applications, cloud services, and real-time data operations, ensuring that organizations remain agile, competitive, and ready for growth in the digital era. The carrier-neutral data center also offers direct access to the 2Africa subsea cable, hosted in Vodacom Mozambique’s equipment room in Matola.
This launch represents more than just an infrastructure implementation; it’s a strategic investment in Mozambique’s digital future. It supports the country’s ambition to become a regional leader in digital innovation, while opening the door to new possibilities for local enterprises, startups, and multinational companies operating in the region.
