Self-Managed Databases vs. Tessell on Azure

Tessell conducted a study of customers across various industries to estimate the potential benefits and cost savings of running their Oracle Databases on Tessell-managed Azure infrastructure versus Self-Managed Azure infrastructure.

Some of the benefits that led the customer to choose Tessell were:

• Co-hosting Multiple Databases: Tessell’s ability to co-host multiple database services onto a single server allowed the customers to reduce the required licenses and optimize compute resources significantly.

• Unified Cloud-Native Environment: Centralized control over licenses, compute resources, and software images across all cloud subscriptions by Tessell allowed customers to effectively enforce license management policies, ensuring compliance with audit requirements and mitigating non-compliance risk.

• License Reduction: Tessell’s ability to consolidate multiple Oracle databases on a single Azure VM significantly reduced the number of Oracle DB licenses. Overall, Tessell helped reduce Oracle license spending by 79%.

• Infrastructure Savings: By consolidating the Databases that were previously hosted on single instances onto fewer Azure VMs, the customer saved about 55% in infrastructure costs compared to self-managed Databases on Azure.

• Integrated Features: Tessell’s suite of data management apps eliminated the need for siloed 3rd party software for HA/DR, backup compliance, data masking, export/import, data refreshes, and more.

• Operational Efficiency: By automating routine tasks, improving database management efficiency, Tessell’s reduced operational burden and increased productivity, decreasing admin FTE costs by 56%.

By leveraging Tessell’s capabilities, organizations can overcome the challenges associated with self-managing databases on Azure, leading to improved performance, reduced operational overhead, and enhanced data security.
