If your agency has a data center exit date, database migration is the hardest part. This workshop is how you prepare to execute it.A full-day, hands-on session for federal IT and cloud infrastructure teams running Oracle or SQL Server estates. Walk in with questions. Walk out with a deployment-ready plan. Hosted at Microsoft's Arlington office.

‍

Been working with Tessell team with my customer for the last 6 months. When you get feedback from the customer, "we could not be happier with this" and "it is exceeding everyone's expectations", you know you have a great recipe to solve a problem that has plagued organizations for years.

‍

Why attend?

‍

This is not a vendor demo. It is a working session, co-designed with Microsoft Azure, for federal IT leaders who are responsible for Oracle modernization programs — not evaluating whether to start one.

‍

Attend if you are:

‍

Running against a data center exit date. Oracle estates are the piece most programs underestimate. This session gives you a structured methodology, not a conceptual overview.

‍

Responsible for compliance, not just infrastructure. FedRAMP alignment, data sovereignty, and audit-ready operations are built into the architecture patterns covered here.

‍

Evaluating AI readiness as a near-term requirement. This session covers how to mirror Oracle data into Azure services in ways that make it accessible to AI and analytics workloads — an operational starting point, not a future state.

‍

‍

What you will walk away with?

‍

• A reference architecture for Oracle on Azure, validated against federal compliance and HA requirements
  ‍
• A completed hands-on lab: Tessell control plane deployed in a live Azure environment, Oracle configured and operational
  ‍
• A data mirroring blueprint for replicating Oracle into Azure services, with AI readiness as the design objective
  ‍
• Migration and cutover planning artifacts — timeline templates, rollback criteria, decision checkpoints
  ‍
• Direct access to Microsoft Azure and Tessell engineering practitioners
