Simplify Database Management with Tessell: The Benefits of "One Throat to Choke" in the Cloud

A big concern with migrating relational databases to the cloud is determining who will be the focal point for resolving an issue. Say, for example, an Oracle database running in the cloud suddenly takes a long time to produce a standard report. Is it a problem with the database software, the cloud provider’s infrastructure, or something else?

Tessell provides a streamlined approach to DBaaS that simplifies troubleshooting and minimizes finger pointing. Tessell responds to the support request and then, if necessary, works with the individual database manufacturer or cloud provider to resolve the issue. The Tessell “one throat to choke” DBaaS offering includes the following advantages:

1. A Single Pane of Management Glass

Tessell acts as a centralized platform for managing Oracle, MySQL, SQL, and PostgreSQL databases across both Azure and AWS. It enables organizations to unify their database operations, configurations, monitoring, and maintenance tasks in a single interface. This centralized approach reduces complexity and offers a holistic view of database performance and health.

2. Simplified Troubleshooting via @Your Terms

Tessell gives customers the option of bringing their own cloud accounts. This means they can also bring their own monitoring, management, and security tools - several of which integrate with Tessell including Oracle Enterprise Manager, JSonar, DataDog, and Qualis. Tessell customers can continue to use their same people, processes, and technology in a hybrid cloud environment.?

3. Enhanced FinOps and Overall Observability

Tessell provides comprehensive visibility into the performance, health, and financial metrics of databases running in the cloud. It consolidates data from various sources, including cloud provider metrics, database logs, and query performance statistics. This consolidated view enables faster identification of bottlenecks, resource utilization patterns, and potential performance issues, empowering organizations to make informed decisions and take proactive measures.

4. Unified Security and Compliance

As with troubleshooting, security is also enhanced by Tessell @Your Terms. Customers can continue utilizing their own proven people, processes, and security policies complemented by Tessell’s capabilities such as automated data masking for all data extracted out of the production database. This combination enhances monitoring, simplifies auditing, and enforces security standards across multiple databases and cloud providers to reduce the risk of gaps or inconsistencies.

5. Scalability and Resilience

Tessell offers scalability and resilience benefits by enabling organizations to easily scale their databases, leverage automated cloud native backups, and implement cross-region 1-click failover disaster recovery strategies. With Tessell's unified management capabilities, organizations can efficiently provision additional resources, implement replication or sharding techniques, and ensure high availability and business continuity across their cloud-based databases.

6. Data Delight Improves Collaboration

Tessell incorporates a concept of “data apps” which simplifies collaboration among different teams involved in database management. Tessell provides a shared platform where database administrators, developers, and operations teams have policy-driven self-service data access and the ability to easily spin up their own test environments with automated sanitized data. This collaborative approach reduces friction, fosters knowledge sharing, and enables cross-functional teams to work towards common goals.

Accelerating Digital Transformation

Achieving the agility, scalability, and lower cost structure from migrating databases to the cloud is perhaps the most important infrastructure aspect of a digital transformation initiative. With its enhanced database management, simplified troubleshooting, enhanced visibility, unified security, scalability, and collaboration capabilities, Tessell empowers organizations to more efficiently manage their databases in the cloud. By leveraging Tessell's benefits, organizations can streamline operations, reduce complexity, and ensure optimal performance, ultimately maximizing the value they derive from their cloud-hosted databases.
