Migrate to cloud
Move databases out of the data center
Tessell migrates Oracle, SQL Server, and open-source databases to AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI. No application rewrites. Your data never leaves your cloud account. Fully managed after cutover.
The Tessell way
Migrate at enterprise scale. Stay managed after.
Tessell has moved mission-critical database estates - hundreds of databases, Fortune 500 companies, hard deadlines - and kept them running afterward. Migration is the start of the relationship, not a project that ends at cutover. Fully managed DBaaS is what it becomes.
Migration that reduces risk at every stage.Lift and Shine is Tessell's phased, no-rewrite migration methodology. Databases move in stages with zero application changes, on a standby-first approach that keeps your production environment live until validation is complete. Replication-based execution means no data loss at cutover. Expert-led, on your timeline.
Plan your migration
Manage from a unified control plane.Every database, every cloud, every engine in one place to provision, monitor, patch, and protect, with the same SLAs and governance policies regardless of which cloud each workload runs on.

Lift and Shine is Tessell's phased migration methodology for moving databases to cloud without application changes. Databases migrate in stages, with production running in parallel until validation is complete, and replication-based execution means no data loss at cutover. It is a controlled, low-risk handoff, not a high-stakes weekend.
It depends on estate size, engine, and complexity. Tessell has migrated 500+ Oracle databases for a single enterprise. Collectors completed a SQL Server migration in 6 weeks. AON consolidated its data centers ahead of schedule. Tessell scopes your specific migration during the free estate assessment.
Yes. Lift and Shine migrations require zero application changes. Your application connects to the same endpoint after migration. What changes is where the database runs and who manages it.
Tessell deploys in your own cloud account, in your VPCs, with your encryption keys. You get dedicated infrastructure, full DBA control over images and parameters, and the complete feature set of Oracle, SQL Server, and open-source engines. The managed layer is Tessell's. The infrastructure and data are yours.
Migration is the start of the relationship. After cutover, Tessell provides fully managed DBaaS - automated patching, HA/DR, monitoring, license compliance, and 24x7 support.
Yes. Tessell supports cross-cloud migrations and multi-cloud deployments. Equinor migrated from OCI and on-premises to Azure. Bajaj Housing Finance runs Oracle simultaneously on AWS and Azure under a single Tessell control plane.
No. Tessell deploys inside your cloud account, in your VPCs, with your encryption keys. Your data stays within your cloud perimeter from migration through ongoing operations. This is what Tessell calls At Your Terms.
Cloud database migration is the process of moving databases from on-premises data centers or one cloud environment to another, with the goal of reducing cost, improving availability, and enabling modern cloud services.
