## Whitepapers

- [On-Premises to Tessell Managed Azure: The Government Oracle TCO Business Case](https://www.tessell.com/whitepapers/tessell-oracle-onprem-vs-azure-government-tco): What's inside Why government Oracle environments struggle on-prem: fragmented legacy infrastructure, manual patching and backups, weeks-long provisioning cycles, and heavy reliance on costly third-party tools Where the infrastructure savings come from: elastic, right-sized compute cut costs by 43 percent, and consumpti on-based storage with thin cloning cut costs by 56 percent, for 53 percent combined infrastructure savings How to optimize Oracle license spend: consolidating databases onto fewer VMs and eliminating add-ons like RAC, the Lifecycle Management Pack, Data Masking Pack, and Multi-Tenant licensing cut Oracle license and support costs by 37 percent The third-party tools Tessell absorbs: built-in HA, disaster recovery, and backup remove the need for separate DR software and backup appliances What the study found across three agencies: results from a state-level technology and cybersecurity agency, a federal rural economic development agency, and a federal security and investigative agency The full TCO and ROI summary: a line-by-line breakdown across CAPEX and OPEX, totaling a 53 percent TCO reduction and 162 percent ROI
- [Transform Oracle Database Economics on Google Cloud with Tessell](https://www.tessell.com/whitepapers/transform-oracle-database-economics-on-google-cloud-with-tessell): What's Inside Why GCP needs a managed Oracle layer: how the absence of a fully managed Oracle service on Google Cloud has slowed modernization, and how Tessell closes that gap Where the infrastructure savings come from: how multi-tenant consolidation and NVMe-backed storage reduced compute costs by 37 percent and storage costs by 66 percent How to optimize your Oracle license investment: how consolidation, secondary-environment prediction, and moving from Enterprise to Standard Edition reduced Oracle license spend by 32 percent, alongside the third-party backup and DR licenses Tessell removes What the customer study found: how a global energy management provider running Oracle across more than 30 countries migrated from Windows to Linux with sub-second ingestion latency The admin and operational impact: how automation and self-service provisioning reduced DBA costs by 67 percent The full TCO and ROI summary: a line-by-line breakdown across support, compute, storage, OS licenses, admin, and services, totaling a 42 percent TCO reduction and 171 percent ROI.
- [Self-Managed Databases vs. Tessell on Azure](https://www.tessell.com/whitepapers/oracle-azure-tessell-value): What's Inside Why self-managed Oracle on Azure runs expensive: how fragmented license control, high RPO and RTO, and application latency drive up cost and operational risk Where the infrastructure savings come from: how multi-tenant consolidation onto fewer Azure VMs reduced compute costs by 55 percent and infrastructure costs by 32 percent overall How to optimize your Oracle license investment: how consolidation, secondary-environment prediction, moving from Enterprise to Standard Edition, and removing the need for RAC reduced Oracle license support spend by 79 percent The third-party licenses Tessell absorbs: how built-in high availability, disaster recovery, backup, and data masking removed separate software for backup, DR, and masking What the study found across three enterprises: results from a Fortune 500 logistics provider, a global professional services firm, and a Fortune 100 European energy company The full TCO and ROI summary: a line-by-line breakdown across support, compute, storage, services, and admin, totaling a 65 percent TCO reduction and 189 percent ROI
- [Tessell Savings over Amazon RDS](https://www.tessell.com/whitepapers/tessell-savings-over-amazon-rds): What's Inside What 1:1 instance mapping, IOPS metering, and auxiliary Oracle licensing mean for large Oracle estates on RDS at scale. The performance gap, benchmarked: how Tessell delivered 1,103 percent higher IOPS than RDS on the identical SLOB workload at the same cost. Two ways to model the savings: a side-by-side of 1:1 instance mapping and multi-database consolidation, so you can compare against your own estate. How to optimize your Oracle license investment: how consolidation, moving from Enterprise to Standard Edition, and removing RAC, ADG, and Enterprise Manager packs reduced Oracle license support costs by 50 to 75 percent. The third-party licenses Tessell absorbs: how built-in high availability, disaster recovery, backup, and data masking removed separate software for backup, DR, and masking. The full three-year TCO and ROI breakdown: line-by-line costs across compute, storage, licensing, services, and admin for both scenarios.
- [Tessell Security Architecture on Azure](https://www.tessell.com/whitepapers/tessell-security-architecture-on-azure): What's Inside How BYOA onboarding works: how you authorize the Tessell Azure AD application and assign it a custom role to bring your own Azure subscription onto the platform The least-privilege access model: how Tessell's access is confined to a custom "Tessell Operator" role scoped to a single resource group rather than the whole subscription What the custom role can and cannot do: the default permission set, plus the actions Tessell explicitly excludes, such as elevating access and changing blueprint assignments Default versus additional permissions: the difference between the bare-minimum permissions Tessell needs to function and the optional permissions that let it automate network and encryption-key creation The deployment and consent flow: how the Azure consent screen and ARM template provision the role assignment and resources, step by step The resources Tessell creates and manages: which Azure resources are created during onboarding and which stay under your control
- [Benchmarking Tessell HPC for PostgreSQL on Azure](https://www.tessell.com/whitepapers/benchmarking-tessell-hpc-for-postgresql-on-azure): What's Inside The benchmark methodology: how Tessell DBaaS and standard Azure PostgreSQL were tested head-to-head using HammerDB on matched 8-vCore, 64 GiB configurations. The testing environment: the VM shapes, storage tiers, network setup, and database initialization used to keep the comparison fair. The pricing breakdown: monthly cost for Tessell versus three standard Azure PostgreSQL storage configurations, based on the Azure Pricing Calculator. Throughput across load levels: NOPM results at 1, 50, 62, 100, and 150 virtual users for every configuration. Where the gap widens: how Tessell's NVMe-backed High Performance Compute sustains throughput as concurrency rises while standard configurations hit their IOPS ceilings. The headline finding: up to 2.5 times the NOPM at similar or lower cost, with a fully managed service.
- [Tessell Architecture Guide](https://www.tessell.com/whitepapers/tessell-architecture-guide): What's Inside Control and data plane design: how Tessell separates the orchestration layer from customer data, with dedicated and shared options for each. Deployment models compared: Business Edition, Virtual Private Tessell, and VPT at Customer, mapped to isolation, control, and cost requirements. Security architecture: least-privilege IAM roles, tag-based access control, TLS-encrypted communication, and a pull-based model where the data plane initiates every request. Cloud onboarding walkthroughs: bring-your-own-account setup for AWS using cross-account IAM and CloudFormation, and for Azure using a dedicated resource group, operator role, and service principal. High availability and disaster recovery: single-instance and HA/DR topologies built from a primary database, a same-region HA replica, and a cross-region DR replica. Availability Machine and Dataflix: SLA-driven snapshots, log backups, sanitized snapshots, native backups, and data access policies that govern what data reaches secondary environments.
- [RDS for SQL Server vs. Tessell AWS](https://www.tessell.com/whitepapers/rds-sql-server-vs-tessell-aws): What's Inside What IOPS throttling, EBS latency, and instance sizing mean for demanding SQL Server workloads on RDS Where Tessell's IOPS advantage comes from: how EC2 with local NVMe storage delivers up to 321 percent higher IOPS and 40 to 50 percent faster query response on heavy read and write workloads. Where the licensing savings come from: how Standard Edition high availability, database consolidation, and decoupled compute and storage reduce SQL Server license spend What the customer study found: how a collectibles authentication and grading provider reached 1.6M IOPS, a 53x jump from its baseline, while cutting infrastructure costs The full cost breakdown: a line-by-line comparison of compute, storage, backup, licensing, services, and DBA costs across RDS and Tessell The TCO and ROI summary: total cost of ownership reduced by 23 percent, with a 129 percent return on investment.
