Tessell, a multi-cloud database-as-a-service provider, has launched three agents built with Google's Gemini to manage enterprise databases on Google Cloud. The agents let database administrators, site reliability engineers, and migration teams run Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL using natural language. The Ops Agent automates daily administration, including recovery, scaling, and credential rotation. The Governance Agent handles compliance tasks such as backup policies, encryption keys, and audit summaries. The Migrate Agent inventories source databases, plans moves to Google Cloud, and tracks replication. Google showed the agents at Oracle AI World on October 28. They will be available to enterprise preview customers this quarter. "We are giving DBAs and SREs their weekends back by eliminating manual toil," said co-founder Kamal Khanuja.

Tessell launches Exadata integration for AI-ready multi-cloud Oracle workloads. Tessell, a provider of next-generation multi-cloud Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), has announced the launch of its Exadata Integration solution. This new service enables enterprises to maximize the value of Oracle Database and Exadata across various cloud environments, including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and approved multi-cloud platforms such as Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle Database@Google Cloud, and Oracle Database@AWS. The announcement comes at a time when the rise of AI applications is fundamentally redefining the demand for databases. The market for AI application development, estimated at over $50 billion, is forcing enterprises to choose data platforms that combine enterprise-level reliability with developer agility. Developers now expect direct provisioning, consumption-based pricing, and a seamless transition from prototype to business-critical production. "Enterprises no longer have to choose between the gold standard of Oracle Exadata and the flexibility of multi-cloud," said Bala Kuchibotla, co-founder and CEO of Tessell. "With Tessell, they can have both - extending the unparalleled performance of Exadata to AI-ready, compliant, and cost-optimized environments worldwide." Bridging the legacy and AI era. Companies built before the AI era are now at a turning point. To remain competitive, they must adapt their architectures to support agility, automation, and AI readiness. Tessell makes this transition seamless by connecting existing Oracle investments with modern, multi-cloud requirements. In combination with Oracle Exadata, the 'gold standard' for mission-critical workloads, Tessell enables enterprises to achieve AI-focused growth, supported by the automation, compliance, and economic benefits required in the current landscape. Key features of the Exadata integration. The new capabilities offered by Tessell for Exadata are designed to simplify operations and governance: * Tessell Airdrop makes zero-downtime migration easy, with end-to-end automation from planning to post-migration optimization, without requiring application rewrites. * Tessell Data Ecosystem bridges operational and analytical pipelines in real-time, which is crucial for AI agents and advanced analytics. * Policy-based data sovereignty and residency controls enable restricting data per country. * Availability Machine provides automated business continuity and disaster recovery. * Real Application Clusters (RAC) is supported on Exadata Database Service in OCI, Azure, and GCP, the only infrastructure supporting RAC in public clouds. * Sparse clone automation provides immediate, space-efficient dev/test refreshes, accelerating release cycles. * A Unified Control Plane offers centralized management for snapshots, recovery, data masking, and governance across Exadata and the cloud. "Tessell for multi-cloud Exadata infrastructure marks a crucial step forward in simplifying cloud transformation for enterprises," said Kamaldeep Khanuja, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Tessell. "This launch is about more than migration; it's about empowering our customers to continuously innovate, scale, and lead in a data-driven world." This launch aligns with Tessell's broader strategy to unify operational and analytical workloads across every enterprise database, giving CIOs the control, compliance, and AI readiness their companies demand.
