Tessell Named a Gartner® Cool Vendor for 2025 in Data Management

A Milestone Recognition

Tessell has been recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor in Data Management: The ‘Modern Data Stack’ Grows Up. 🎉

Out of dozens of emerging technology companies, only a select few earn this recognition each year. Tessell is proud to be featured for redefining what a modern, multicloud DBaaS platform can be — delivering performance, efficiency, and flexibility across Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.

This honor comes on the heels of another milestone earlier this year, when Tessell was named a Strong Performer in Gartner’s Voice of the Customer report. Together, these recognitions tell a powerful story:

• Customers trust us.
• Analysts validate us.

Why Gartner Says Tessell is “Cool”

Gartner introduced the “Cool Vendor” designation to spotlight companies shaping the future of an industry. In their 2025 report, they highlight a major shift away from monolithic, one-size-fits-all platforms toward lightweight, automation-first, AI-ready solutions.

Here’s why Tessell stands out:

• Unified Multicloud DBaaS Platform — A single control plane for Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.
• Patented NVMe-to-Persistent Storage Technology — Unlocks NVMe-level performance with cloud persistence, delivering superior speed and cost savings.
• Multitenancy for Databases — Run multiple workloads within a single VM, dramatically reducing costs compared to native cloud offerings.
• Operational & Cost Efficiency — Customers achieve license consolidation, reduced DBA overhead, and significant savings.
• Proven Impact — Dramatic query performance improvements and faster provisioning of environments.

A line from Gartner’s report captures it best:

“Organizations that find entry-level DBMS offerings like RDS to be insufficient in meeting their production requirements but who want to maintain multicloud and multivendor flexibility” should look to Tessell.

Customer Impact Behind the Recognition

At Tessell, innovation is always customer-driven. The recognition reflects the real results enterprises are achieving:

• Cost Optimization — Customers like Forbes modernized critical workloads with Tessell, achieving substantial savings while improving performance.
• Performance Gains — Companies like Landis+Gyr improved speed and efficiency without rewriting applications — enabling faster, more reliable digital experiences.
• Operational Freedom — By eliminating manual database firefighting, Tessell lets DBAs and developers provision environments in minutes and focus on innovation.

This combination of cost savings, performance improvement, and simplicity is why enterprises are turning to Tessell as the foundation of their AI-ready data estates.

What This Means for the Industry

The database landscape is at a turning point. Enterprises no longer want complex, monolithic platforms with heavy trade-offs. They want:

• Simplicity without compromise — a single pane of glass for every database, across every cloud.
• Performance and efficiency — patented technology that balances speed with cost optimization.
• Multicloud freedom — eliminating lock-in and giving enterprises choice.

Gartner’s recognition is validation that Tessell is at the forefront of this industry shift — helping enterprises modernize faster, cut costs, and get AI-ready.

The Road Ahead

This milestone is validation of Tessell’s vision: to make databases cloud-easy, cost-effective, and AI-ready. But we’re just getting started.

Our next goal? Earning a place in the Gartner Magic Quadrant.

As we continue to expand our platform, scale partnerships, and deliver value to Fortune 500 enterprises, one thing remains constant: our commitment to solving real customer challenges with relentless innovation.
