Case Study: a fortune 250 transportation giant halves infrastructure costs with Tessell

Fortune 250 Transportation Giant Achieves Significant Cost Savings on its Databases

A Fortune 250 freight railroad operator faced the significant challenge of migrating over 500 mission-critical Oracle databases to Microsoft Azure as part of a data center exit mandate. Key hurdles included the lack of a native Oracle PaaS on Azure, performance-degrading cross-cloud latency, and operational inefficiency from an outdated one-database-per-server model. The company partnered with Tessell to modernize its data infrastructure while meeting its need for enterprise-grade reliability.

Tessell provided a fully managed Oracle platform natively on Azure, enabling intelligent server consolidation and automation-led operations. The solution resulted in a 40% reduction in infrastructure costs, a 4x improvement in server utilization, and 10x faster database provisioning. Tessell delivered these efficiencies while providing the high availability and resilience required for the customer's critical role in the U.S. supply chain.
