Stratoscale, the cloud infrastructure company that delivers an AWS-region within the data center, today announced it acquired Cambridge, MA-based Tesora, a privately held database-as-a-service (DBaaS) provider that fulfills the promise of DBaaS from any public, private or hybrid cloud computing platform.

In addition, Stratoscale announced the availability of a fully-managed and AWS-compatible relational database service (RDS), offering a single-click deployment and seamless scalability, while removing operational friction.

Tesora's team and DBaaS platform augments and enhances Stratoscale's capabilities in delivering database services for an on-prem AWS region, addressing market demand for managed noSQL, RDS, and adding DynamoDB, ElasticCache and Redshift compatible services that can be easily deployed in any environment. Enterprises and service providers alike trust the Tesora DBaaS platform to offer secure cloud access to the most popular databases through a single consistent interface. The Tesora DBaaS platform includes features that enterprises depend on for self-service provisioning and management of seventeen certified databases, including Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB,  Redis, Cassandra, DataStax Enterprise, Couchbase, MariaDB, Percona, PostgresSQL and DB2 Express.

"This acquisition is an important milestone in Stratoscale's ability to help customers on their journey to the cloud," said Ariel Maislos, CEO & Founder of Stratoscale. "Organizations want to consume database as a service in a click-of-a-button. Stratoscale is happy to bring Tesora onboard to make this a reality."

This announcement comes just weeks after Stratoscale announced Symphony 3, the latest generation of Stratoscale's comprehensive cloud infrastructure software. Stratoscale Symphony 3 expands its holistic software-defined infrastructure solution and enables customers to implement a hybrid cloud strategy by transforming on-premises infrastructure into an AWS Region.  Deployed in minutes, Symphony enables IT organizations to align with an AWS cloud first strategy and offers the sought-after flexibility and simplicity in managing all workloads and resources via a single pane of glass, decoupled from any hardware vendor constraints.
