Spend less on your databases. Without giving anything up
Tessell reduces total database cost of ownership by 25 to 50 percent, proven by customers, by eliminating IOPS-based pricing, right-sizing infrastructure, and folding backup, HA, monitoring, and more into one platform. No re-platforming required.
Your database bill grows faster than your databases
Database costs rarely climb because you are running more workloads. They climb because of how the bill is structured: IOPS metered separately from compute, infrastructure provisioned for peak and never right-sized, and a stack of third-party tools for backup, high availability, monitoring, and data masking, each with its own contract. Tessell attacks all of it without forcing you to re-platform or rewrite anything. You keep your databases where they make sense and change what you are paying to run them.
How Tessell reduces cost
No IOPS-based pricing
Tessell runs on NVMe-backed infrastructure with up to 2 million IOPS on supported configurations and no separate provisioned-IOPS meter. Performance scales without a line item that grows every time your workload does.
A Fortune India 500 financial services company eliminated IOPS-based pricing and supported 3x business growth with zero cost growth.
Right-sized infrastructure
AWR analysis for Oracle and workload profiling for every other engine size your infrastructure to actual usage, not a worst-case guess carried over from on-premises or an oversized managed-service tier. You provision for what you run.
A Fortune 250 freight railroad lifted server utilization from 15% to 60% after right-sizing its estate on Tessell.
One platform instead of many tools
Backup and point-in-time recovery, high availability and disaster recovery, performance monitoring, and data masking are part of Tessell. That removes the separate third-party tools that usually surround a database estate, each with its own license and its own integration to maintain. Bring your own Datadog, New Relic, or Sumo Logic if you want them, but the core operational tooling is already included.
A US state IT services provider eliminated 100% of its third-party backup costs by consolidating onto one platform.
Lower Operational Load
Tessell automates the routine database operations that consume DBA time: patching, backups, failover, provisioning, and cloning. Your team spends less time on maintenance and more on work that moves the business, and you run a larger estate without growing the operations around it.
A global energy technology company improved DBA time and labor efficiency by 60% on Tessell.
Cost reduction for any starting point
You do not need to be migrating to start spending less. Whether you run on a managed service, self-manage in the cloud, or operate a mix of engines across clouds, Tessell applies the same cost levers to the estate you already have.
Running on a managed service
If your managed-service bill is climbing through IOPS charges, oversized tiers, or feature limits that force workarounds, Tessell gives you a managed experience on right-sized, dedicated infrastructure in your own cloud account.
Self-managed in the cloud
If you run databases yourself on cloud infrastructure, Tessell takes on the operational load and the tooling stack while keeping everything in your own account, so you cut cost without re-platforming.
Multi-engine estates
If your costs are spread across Oracle, SQL Server, and open-source engines on different clouds, Tessell consolidates the operations and the tooling into one control plane with consistent governance, which is where the redundant-tooling savings compound.Cost reduction, proven by customers
