As a founder, there are moments in the journey of building a company that make you pause and reflect — milestones that affirm not only the direction you’ve chosen but also the relentless work your team has poured into the mission.


Today is one of those moments.


I’m proud to share that451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, has published a dedicated analyst report on Tessell.This is the very first time Tessell has received such in-depth coverage from 451, and it’s a huge milestone for us.

Why This Matters

451 Research has a reputation for deep, independent analysis of the technology landscape. Their reports are widely read by CIOs, CTOs, IT leaders, and investors making critical technology decisions. To have Tessell covered in detail is not just recognition — it’s validation that our approach to solving one of the toughest problems in enterprise IT is resonating.


What stood out to me in the report is how clearly they captured our mission:


Tessell is“flipping the script on how enterprises manage their data and databases across multiple clouds.”


They called out ourpatented NVMe-based infrastructurethat enables enterprises to achieve performance, cost savings, durability, and availability — a combination rarely seen in today’s database services. They also recognized Tessell as part of a new wave ofcloud DBaaS platform providersthat address gaps left by hyperscaler-native options.

Back-to-Back Validation

This recognition comes right on the heels of another milestone that’s close to my heart:Tessell being named a Gartner Cool Vendor in Data Management.


Being a Cool Vendor is one of Gartner’s most prestigious accolades for emerging tech companies. Out of 38 startups nominated, Tessell was chosen as one of the select few to be featured. Gartner highlighted our unified multicloud DBaaS platform, our patented NVMe-to-persistent storage technology, and — most importantly — the impact we’ve had on customers.


To receive recognition fromboth Gartner and 451 Research within months of each otheris incredibly motivating. It tells me that the story we set out to write when we founded Tessell — about giving enterprises real choice, performance, and flexibility across clouds — is being noticed and valued.

The Journey Ahead

When we started Tessell, we wanted to solve a very real frustration we had seen firsthand: cloud databases that were expensive, rigid, and often “just good enough.” Enterprises deserved better.


These analyst recognitions don’t mark the finish line — they mark the beginning of a much larger journey. They push us to raise the bar higher, to innovate faster, and to keep solving real-world challenges for our customers.


Our north star remains clear:to make databases cloud-easy, cost-efficient, and AI-ready — across any cloud, for every enterprise.
