Tessell for Oracle

Move Oracle to the cloud. Without the rewrite.

Tessell migrates and manages Oracle databases on AWS, Azure, and GCP with no application changes and typically 25 to 50 percent lower total cost than self-managed alternatives, proven by customers. Migrate your entire Oracle estate, then run it from a single control plane.

Why migrate now

Oracle is what's keeping the data center open

Most enterprises have already moved the rest of their estate to cloud. Oracle is what's left, and it is what keeps the data center running and on the books. The result is paying for the old environment and the new one at the same time, often several million dollars a year in data center cost that cannot be shed until Oracle moves. Delaying compounds it. Every quarter on-premises is another quarter of infrastructure you own and cloud benefits you are not capturing, and the window before the next renewal cycle or data center exit deadline is shorter than it looks. Tessell moves the Oracle workloads that make a clean exit possible, and optimizes your Oracle investment in the process.

How Tessell solves it

Migrate Oracle Databases Without the Risk

Lift and Shine is Tessell's phased, no-rewrite migration methodology. Tessell builds a standby of each Oracle database in the target cloud using Oracle Data Guard, keeps it continuously in sync, validates everything, and cuts over on your schedule. Production stays live until you switch, and your applications connect to the same endpoints afterward, with no schema rewrites or recompilation. Start a standby in the cloud, validate everything, cut over on your schedule. Zero data loss. Near-zero downtime.

A Fortune 250 transportation company migrated 500+ Oracle databases to Azure in under two years . An estimated $5.7M saved, data center exit mandate delivered on time.

Migrate Oracle Databases Without the Risk
The Tessell Way

How Tessell migrates Oracle databases to the cloud

A proven, low-risk process refined across hundreds of enterprise Oracle migrations.

1. Estate Discovery
Catalog every Oracle database across on-premises and cloud: version, dependencies, and feature usage, with AWR analysis to size the target accurately.
2. Migration Planning
Model the target cloud architecture, sequence the migration in waves with risk scoring per database, and tie timelines to your data center exit dates.
3. Parallel standby build
Build a live standby of each Oracle database on the target cloud using Oracle Data Guard, kept continuously in sync. Production keeps running.
 4. Validate and Testing
Validate applications, queries, and batch jobs against the cloud standby before cutover.
Cutover on your Schedule
A single controlled switchover with minimal downtime, validated against the pre-migration baseline.
The numbers speak for themselves
