Where the infrastructure savings come from: elastic, right-sized compute cut costs by 43 percent, and consumpti
on-based storage with thin cloning cut costs by 56 percent, for 53 percent combined infrastructure savings
How to optimize Oracle license spend: consolidating databases onto fewer VMs and eliminating add-ons like RAC, the Lifecycle Management Pack, Data Masking Pack, and Multi-Tenant licensing cut Oracle license and support costs by 37 percent
The third-party tools Tessell absorbs: built-in HA, disaster recovery, and backup remove the need for separate DR software and backup appliances
What the study found across three agencies: results from a state-level technology and cybersecurity agency, a federal rural economic development agency, and a federal security and investigative agency
The full TCO and ROI summary: a line-by-line breakdown across CAPEX and OPEX, totaling a 53 percent TCO reduction and 162 percent ROI
Tessell is for companies aiming for significant cost savings on cloud infrastructure and Oracle/SQL Server licenses through efficient utilization. Organizations that find entry-level DBMS offerings like RDS insufficient for production requirements, but who want to maintain multi-cloud and multivendor flexibility.
