Tessell has announced a collaboration with Microsoft Azure and NetApp to introduce the first ubiquitous Copilot for Cloud Databases. This marks a significant step forward in enterprise-grade database management. This new solution integrates an enterprise-grade Database Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) with one-click functionality for any database on Azure, leveraging Azure NetApp Files (ANF) as enterprise cloud storage and Tessell as the unified Database Service.
For the first time, Azure and NetApp customers will have access to an enterprise-grade Managed Instance for Oracle on Azure. This integration supports any virtual machine (VM) family across all Azure regions. The collaboration promises flexibility, cost optimization, and performance enhancements for cloud database management.
The bundled solution offers 24/7 support with a 15-minute response time for issues related to Azure, ANF, and Tessell Oracle PaaS. Customers could see up to a 45% reduction in the total cost of ownership (TCO) through optimized infrastructure, third-party software, database licenses, and operational costs.
Geert van Teylingen, Director of Product Management for Azure NetApp Files at NetApp, highlighted the service’s capabilities: “Azure NetApp Files has been differentiating itself as the go-to storage platform for high-performance, low-latency file workloads. Providing a ‘Volumes as a service’ experience makes the service easy to deploy and scale, without interruptions – particularly important for business-critical applications like Oracle and databases.”
Azure offers robust cloud infrastructure, extensive support for database workloads, and flexible pricing options, including pay-as-you-go (PAYG) and reserved instances. NetApp provides first-party, enterprise-grade Azure NetApp Files storage with low-latency performance, high-performance instant snapshots, and scalable storage. Tessell offers the only Oracle Managed Instance available on Azure, fully integrated with ANF, allowing for superior performance, multi-region disaster recovery, and enterprise-grade data protection.
Bala Kuchibhotla, Co-Founder and CEO at Tessell, expressed enthusiasm about the new offering. “We are excited to introduce the first enterprise-grade cloud database solution that combines the versatility of Azure and Azure NetApp Files, the high-performance storage powered by NetApp, and the unified management capabilities of Tessell.” He added, “This collaboration breaks new ground in the cloud industry by providing businesses with an unprecedented level of control, performance, and cost savings, all within their preferred cloud environments.”
