Fortune 500 companies, global banks, and government agencies trust Tessell with their most critical databases
Teams keep their engines, their clouds, and their governance, and get a single way to run all of it. Founded in 2021, Tessell set out to make managing data in the cloud effortless, even for the largest and most regulated organizations. The founding team brought more than 50 years of combined experience in databases and data management, and had seen how much cost, complexity, and lock-in enterprises were expected to accept. The name says it. Tessellation is the art of arranging separate pieces into one seamless pattern, with no gaps and no overlaps. That is what Tessell does for an entire database estate, every engine and every cloud brought into one coherent whole, run inside the customer's own account.

“Enterprises know they need to modernize their database estates. The question is how to execute with speed without breaking what is already working.”
