en.Wedoany.com Reported - Yurika Telecoms has partnered with RackCorp to launch a sovereign cloud virtualization service, ensuring that virtual machine workloads remain within Australia at all times.
The service is designed for organizations that wish to run cloud infrastructure in Australian data centers and connect these systems via Yurika's telecommunications network. Customers can deploy virtual machines across 11 data centers in 7 Australian cities, with single-site, multi-site, and hybrid options available, and manage computing, storage, database, and network resources through Yurika's OneStack portal. The service is specifically tailored for government agencies, utility companies, mining groups, financial services firms, and managed service providers, helping these organizations assess legacy virtualization systems and migrate workloads without the need to maintain physical hardware or rely on overseas public cloud platforms.
The service targets regulated and critical environments where data residency and compliance are key procurement factors. Yurika cites use cases including operational technology and field systems, data center refresh projects, and shared services with controlled access across multiple teams. This launch comes amid increasingly stringent scrutiny in Australia regarding data storage locations and infrastructure control. RackCorp links the service to the Whole-of-Government Cloud Computing Policy, which will take effect in July 2026.
Pricing is based on monthly usage rather than per-core software licensing. Yurika states that this model can reduce costs by over 50% compared to traditional VMware virtualization licensing and may be cheaper than comparable hyperscale cloud service consumption. Yurika also offers infrastructure assessments, proof-of-concept trials, and hybrid solutions that connect on-premises systems with cloud resources. Existing customers can extend their current connections into the managed cloud environment.
Tony Riley, General Manager of Telecommunications and Digital at Yurika, stated that many organizations are reassessing how they host virtual machines. He noted that rising software renewal costs, power constraints, and the workload required to maintain infrastructure are driving change, and this service helps customers modernize their virtual machine environments in a transparent, secure manner with direct connectivity to their networks, extending the existing trust relationship between customers and Yurika into managed cloud services.
RackCorp provides the underlying cloud platform for the service. The company operates over 35 data centers across 25 cities in 16 countries, focusing on sovereign cloud infrastructure for regulated industries and government users. Stephen Dendtler, Chief Technology Officer of RackCorp, stated that with the policy taking effect in July 2026, agencies need a clear and viable transition path. RackCorp manages the cloud platform and compliance complexities, while Yurika provides integrated connectivity and local support, combining to offer a sovereign cloud service that is easy to adopt and operate.
Yurika Telecoms, a subsidiary of Energy Queensland, provides telecommunications, data center, IoT, and analytics services to government, utility, and enterprise customers across Australia. This launch adds managed cloud virtualization to its portfolio, with its domestic hosting services serving as a core selling point for buyers in sensitive and regulated markets.
