Your project, your keys

Your data stays in the project you control.

You chose Google Cloud, so your data should stay there. Your databases, keys, and backups live inside your own GCP project, under whichever deployment option you pick.

Full Data Sovereignty

The data plane runs inside your own Google Cloud project, under your Cloud KMS keys and your VPC network policies. Tessell's control plane runs operations from outside your perimeter over private connectivity. Your data never leaves your project.

  • Data plane in your own Google Cloud project (BYOA)
  • Your encryption keys (CMEK via Cloud KMS) and your network (private subnets)
  • Private-only access, no public internet exposure

Best for enterprises and agencies with strong data sovereignty and residency policies.

Easy to procure

It runs on the Google Cloud 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 Google Cloud Marketplace, transacting on the agreement and billing you already have. Because it runs through Marketplace, Tessell draws down your existing Google Cloud commitment 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 run

Enterprise HA, DR, and recovery, for every engine you run.

On Google Cloud, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL each get the full operational kit: high availability with automatic failover, disaster recovery, read replicas, automated patching, and point-in-time recovery. No engine left running the hard way.

Oracle
OracleManage your Oracle databases on Google Cloud 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 Google Cloud with automated backups, point-in-time recovery, and fleet-wide patching.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQLRun PostgreSQL on Google Cloud with the configuration control and extension flexibility your teams expect, plus built-in HA and point-in-time recovery.
MySQL
MySQLRun MySQL on Google Cloud with built-in HA, automated backups, and point-in-time recovery, on efficient NVMe-backed compute.
No new silos

One control plane. Every cloud you run.

You chose Google Cloud on purpose. Tessell runs it on the same control plane and operating model as your other clouds, so adding Google Cloud extends your estate instead of splitting it into another set of tools, runbooks, and on-call rotations.

One place to run every cloud
One place to run every cloudProvision, patch, protect, and recover databases on Google Cloud from the same control plane and the same API you already use on AWS and Azure.
Nothing new for your SRE team to learn
Nothing new for your SRE team to learnThe same monitoring, alerting, logging, and runbooks carry straight over to Google Cloud. Your on-call rotation does not change, and no one retrains for a new cloud.
No lock-in, options open
No lock-in, options openThe same platform runs on every cloud, so you choose Google Cloud regions on latency, compliance, and cost, and keep the freedom to run workloads where they belong.
Where milliseconds matter

The performance your workloads need, on Google Cloud's fastest shapes.

Tessell runs on high-density NVMe storage across Google Cloud's compute families, from general-purpose to memory-optimized and bare-metal, so your heaviest databases get throughput without over-provisioning.

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.
One team, every cloud

One support relationship, whichever clouds you run.

Running more than one cloud usually means more than one support relationship. With Tessell, a dedicated engineering team stands behind your databases across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, from proof of concept through production.
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.
Getting onto Google Cloud

Onto Google Cloud from wherever you are today

Whether you are moving from another cloud or your own data centers, Lift and Shine, our phased and reversible migration approach, brings your databases onto Google Cloud 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 Google Cloud.
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.
