About OneCloud

OneCloud was founded in February 2017 as a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) company to solve the biggest problems that most enterprises face to improve Information Technology Systems (ITS) performance and availability.

In our quest to solve problems and find the right solutions, we identified the key technology components that impact on business profitability, user efficiency, systems availability, network security and overall performance. We defined a solution and product set to answer the need for reliability, simplified deployments, IT systems and network visibility, ease of management-and support of systems…and ultimately reducing clients’ costs.

We have a proven track record in the design, provision, deployment, configuration, management and support of critical network and systems components. Our expertise and specialised skills cover the following key areas.

  • Internet Access & MPLS Connectivity
  • Inter-branch Private Networks (WAN)
  • In-Office Network Infrastructure (LAN)
  • Security of Business-and User Data
  • Server Virtualisation (Hosted)
  • Office Applications & Software Licensing
  • User Device Management

OneCloud has more than 17 years’ collective management experience in the Internet (ISP) and Information Technology Services (ITS) market in Mozambique.
