1. Consistent Performance and Cost Savings

Predictable Costs: Tessell’s fixed-cost model eliminates the unpredictable costs of IOPS-related expenses, resulting in significant savings on infrastructure, licensing, administration, backup, and disaster recovery.

Optimized Resources: Tessell leverages advanced compute shapes and storage options, including native NVMe and Oracle Exadata, to ensure consistent performance and efficient resource use.

2. Enhanced Control, Security, and Governance

Data Sovereignty: Tessell ensures government organizations maintain complete control over their data and infrastructure directly within their own Azure, AWS, or soon-to-be Google Cloud tenant.

Robust Security Features: With high-availability architecture, cross-availability Zone (AZ) support, cross-region one-click disaster recovery, BYOK (Bring your Own Keys) encryption, and automated production data masking, Tessell helps organizations meet stringent regulatory requirements.

Deployment@Customer Terms: The Virtual Private Tessell (VPT) model offers enhanced security with dedicated cloud accounts within their cloud tenancy. This allows customers to customize the SaaS control plane to align with larger government entities' specific data plane requirements.

3. Tailored Data Management and Operational Efficiency

Ease of Use: IT teams can confidently manage Oracle and other databases on the public cloud after as little as two 1-hour sessions.

Standardized Developer Environments: Tessell supports faster deployment of modern, secure applications, boosting developer productivity and enabling better citizen services.

5. Smooth Cloud Migration and Ecosystem Integration

Seamless Transition: Tessell simplifies the migration of existing databases to the cloud, ensuring minimal disruption. Its advanced DBaaS solutions integrate seamlessly into existing cloud ecosystems, enabling organizations to accelerate digital transformation.
