The cloud computing landscape has witnessed phenomenal advancements in recent years, and the collaboration between Tessell, Microsoft Azure, and NetApp is one of the most groundbreaking developments in cloud database management. These industry leaders have joined forces to introduce the first ubiquitous Copilot for Cloud Databases, an initiative set to revolutionize enterprise-grade database management. This new solution integrates an enterprise-grade Database Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) with one-click functionality for various databases on Azure. Leveraging Azure NetApp Files (ANF) as the robust cloud storage backbone and Tessell as the unified Database Service, this comprehensive approach promises to offer unprecedented ease of use, performance, and cost-efficiency for cloud-based databases.
For the very first time, Azure and NetApp customers can benefit from an enterprise-grade Managed Instance for Oracle on Azure, fully integrated with ANF and compatible with any virtual machine (VM) family across all Azure regions. This collaboration is specifically designed to provide flexibility, cost optimization, and performance enhancements needed for effective cloud database management. Central to this bundled solution is 24/7 support, including a rapid 15-minute response time to address any issues related to Azure, ANF, and Tessell Oracle PaaS. By optimizing infrastructure, third-party software, database licenses, and operational costs, the offering aims to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 45%.
A Unified Cloud Database Solution
The core of this collaboration lies in the robust cloud infrastructure and extensive database workload support offered by Azure and NetApp’s enterprise-grade ANF storage. Azure brings high flexibility with its extensive cloud services, while ANF ensures low latency and high performance, critical for enterprise applications such as Oracle databases. Tessell adds a unique strength to this equation by offering the only Oracle Managed Instance on Azure, ensuring superior database performance, multi-region disaster recovery, and robust data protection.
Geert van Teylingen, Director of Product Management for Azure NetApp Files at NetApp, highlighted the numerous advantages that ANF brings to the table. He specifically pointed to its capability to handle high-performance, low-latency file workloads, making it exceptionally beneficial for rigorous business-essential applications. This seamless deployment and scalability are vital for businesses that require smooth, efficient operations and do not want to worry about backend complexities. This collaborative offering promises significant cost efficiencies, enhanced performance, and improved operational efficiencies, underpinning a future where managing cloud databases becomes increasingly intuitive and affordable.
