Mozambique's cloud provider Bubble has announced its intention to offer services from two availability zones.

According to Bubble's business development director, Cameron Smith, the company is the first provider in Mozambique to be licensed as "advanced" by the National Information and Communication Technology Institute.

As reported by Club of Mozambique, the company has two availability zones located in Maputo City and Beluluane.

Smith, speaking at BFSI Mozambique 2026, noted that the second availability zone will ensure that services can continue operating should one location experience a failure, as it enables customers to "distribute their systems and data across different physical locations."

Details about Bubble on its website are sparse. According to the company's LinkedIn page, it was founded in 2023 as an initiative between the Triana Group and the Strategix Group - two African IT companies. It offers services including cloud infrastructure, backup, disaster recovery, infrastructure management, and operational support.

Mozambique has a small data center market, with DataCenterMap listing just six facilities in the country. Operators include icolo.io, Raxio, Vodacom Business, Teledata, Seacom, and BCX.

The Vodacom site launched in 2025, and the Raxio facility in 2024. Raxio's site is in Beluluane.

DCD has contacted Bubble for information about its data center partners and plans for expansion.

Update -

Bubble told DCD via email that it is using icolo.io's data center in Maputo City for availability zone 1, and Raxio's Beluluane site for availability zone 2.

Bubble Cloud Mozambique's CEO, Zuneid Karim, said: "Our focus has always been to build cloud infrastructure that organizations can rely on for their most critical workloads. The launch of our second Availability Zone is an important milestone because it gives organisations greater flexibility to design resilient cloud architectures that meet their availability, business continuity and disaster recovery requirements while keeping applications and data within Mozambique."

According to the company, it intends to expand its model to other countries in the SADC region and is currently assessing infrastructure opportunities in two regional markets. The company said: "While our immediate priority remains Mozambique, we believe demand for locally hosted cloud infrastructure will continue to grow across Southern Africa."
