What's Inside

  • Why self-managed Oracle on Azure runs expensive: how fragmented license control, high RPO and RTO, and application latency drive up cost and operational risk

  • Where the infrastructure savings come from: how multi-tenant consolidation onto fewer Azure VMs reduced compute costs by 55 percent and infrastructure costs by 32 percent overall

  • How to optimize your Oracle license investment: how consolidation, secondary-environment prediction, moving from Enterprise to Standard Edition, and removing the need for RAC reduced Oracle license support spend by 79 percent

  • The third-party licenses Tessell absorbs: how built-in high availability, disaster recovery, backup, and data masking removed separate software for backup, DR, and masking

  • What the study found across three enterprises: results from a Fortune 500 logistics provider, a global professional services firm, and a Fortune 100 European energy company

  • The full TCO and ROI summary: a line-by-line breakdown across support, compute, storage, services, and admin, totaling a 65 percent TCO reduction and 189 percent ROI

You have provided us with insights and knowledge how things are implemented and how operational tasks are performed in the Tessell provided service. You have been able to meet or exceed our expectations on all the agreed points we wanted to investigate. Our application team was also very happy with the service you provided. They performed both functional tests and ran performance tests on the provided database. Special legacy requirements were met, and performance was on par or better than existing solution.
