Where your data lives

You draw the line around your data.

For a regulated estate, how much runs inside your perimeter is not a detail, it is the decision. Tessell runs the same platform across deployment options, so you set the boundary, down to your own subscription.

Data plane in your subscription

The data plane runs inside your own Azure subscription, under your Key Vault keys and your network policies. Tessell's control plane runs operations from outside your perimeter over Azure Private Link. Your data never leaves your subscription.

  • Data plane in your own Azure subscription (BYOA)
  • Your encryption keys (BYOK via Key Vault and Disk Encryption Set) and your network (BYON, private subnets)
  • Private-only access, no public internet exposure

Best for regulated enterprises and governments with strict data sovereignty requirements.

Easy to procure

It runs on the Azure commitment you already made

Most database software lands as net-new spend: a fresh procurement cycle, a new security review, a budget line to defend. Tessell is on Azure Marketplace, transacting on paper and billing you already have. Because it runs through Marketplace, Tessell draws down your existing Azure commitment (MACC) instead of adding to it. Spend you already agreed to now covers your whole database estate, not next year's budget.

FeatureDetail
Every engine, fully managed

One set of standards across every subscription.

As your estate grows across subscriptions and regions, control gets harder, not easier. Tessell applies one governance model to your whole database estate, so your standards hold whether you run ten databases or seven hundred.

Oracle
OracleManage your Oracle databases on Azure with built-in HA and DR, automated patching, and license visibility and governance. Optimize your Oracle investment as you modernize.
SQL Server
SQL ServerStandard Edition HA, included. Manage SQL Server on Azure with automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and fleet-wide patching, consolidated onto fewer hosts.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQLRun PostgreSQL on Azure with the configuration control and extension flexibility your teams expect, plus built-in HA and point-in-time recovery.
MySQL
MySQLRun MySQL on Azure with built-in HA, automated backups, and point-in-time recovery, consolidated onto efficient NVMe-backed compute.
Governance at scale

Govern the whole estate.
From one control plane.

As your estate grows across subscriptions and regions, control gets harder, not easier. Tessell applies one governance model to your whole database estate, so your standards hold whether you run ten databases or seven hundred.

Mapped to your tenancy
Mapped to your tenancyPolicy and role-based access follow your existing subscriptions and management groups. Hub-and-spoke governance, with no re-architecting.
Standards that hold
Standards that holdParameter and options profiles enforce configuration across every database, so drift does not creep in as the estate grows.
License and cost in one view
License and cost in one viewLicense visibility and governance, and cost visibility, across the whole estate in one place.
For the heaviest workloads

Built for the databases you can't afford to slow down.

The databases behind your busiest applications need throughput, not excuses. Tessell runs on high-density NVMe storage tuned for databases, on efficient, right-sized Azure compute.

NVMe-backed performance
Up to 10x performance and up to 2 million IOPS on specific NVMe-backed configurations.
More IOPS per vCPU
High NVMe density delivers more IOPS on fewer vCPUs, so you hit performance targets on smaller, right-sized compute.
Predictable at scale
Provisioned NVMe storage keeps throughput steady, with no IOPS-based metering surprises.
Right-sized to your workload
Compute matched to actual load, from constrained-core VMs to dedicated hosts.
Consolidate without contention
Run many databases per host while holding performance, for fewer hosts to manage.
Who's behind your estate

The same engineers, from proof of concept to production.

The same dedicated engineering team that stands up your proof of concept stays with you into production, so nobody is learning your estate from scratch when it matters.
Dedicated from day one

Dedicated from day one

The same engineers who support your proof of concept support your production environment. No handoffs, no re-explaining your architecture.
One point of contact

One point of contact

When an issue spans a database or a cloud vendor, Tessell coordinates the resolution on your behalf, across every cloud you run.
Around the clock for mission-critical

Around the clock for mission-critical

Tessell monitors your databases 24x7x365 and alerts on anomalies before they become incidents. Mission-Critical plans carry a 15-minute Sev-1 response.
Migrating to Azure

Move onto Azure without a point of no return.

Whether you are leaving your own data centers or another cloud, Lift and Shine, our phased and reversible migration approach, moves you onto Azure with no application rewrites and a tested way back at every stage.

Migration Approach
1. Assessment
Analyze your database estate, workloads, and dependencies to size the right target architecture on Azure.
2. Migration Planning
Map each database to a phased plan with a tested rollback at every stage, so there is no point of no return.
3. Migration Execution
Move schema and data with continuous replication, keeping source and target in sync until you are ready.
4. Cutover
Switch over on your schedule, with a validated way back if anything looks wrong.
5. Post-Migration Operations
Day-two operations, HA, DR, and backups run on the platform from the moment you go live.
