Tessell 2025 Year in Review
2025 was a big year for Tessell - and for the DBA and infrastructure teams modernizing mission-critical databases with us.
We shipped capabilities that strengthen operational control, reduce overhead through automation, and expand infrastructure choice.
Our migration of 500+ critical Oracle databases to Azure with Tessell was a major milestone in our transformation journey. Tessell’s managed service has already reduced complexity and costs, and we’re excited about what’s next.

Prod-to-non-prod refresh with automated data masking- safe, compliant refreshes for dev/test.
Custom RPO + advanced retention schedules- recovery policies that match workload needs.
Cross-subscription snapshot sharing- secure sharing across complex Azure setups.
Cost
Automate the work that burns DBA cycles.
Standardized workflows across refresh, backup/restore, and routine operations - fewer manual runbooks.
Orchestration that reduces operational overhead and variance across environments, especially at scale.
