Today at RedisConf 2020 Takeaway, Redis Labs announced a new strategic agreement with Microsoft to deliver Redis Enterprise as new, fully integrated tiers of Azure Cache for Redis. The new service offering, available today in Private Preview,
will unlock the power of Redis for Azure customers' mission-critical
workloads through advanced, enterprise-grade functionality, including
Redis on Flash, modules, and, in the future, the ability to create an
active geo-redundant cache for hybrid-cloud architectures.
"We
are excited to partner with Microsoft to bring Redis Enterprise to
Azure as a fully integrated service," said Ofer Bengal, CEO and
co-founder at Redis Labs. "The new enterprise tiers of Azure Cache for
Redis fulfills the desire we hear from customers for a fully managed
cloud data store that provides significant cost savings for large
datasets and the greatest simplicity to consume Redis Enterprise with
the confidence and resilience they need from their data layer as they
move to Azure."
"The
integration with Redis Labs underscores Microsoft's vision for a
successful cloud and open source collaboration that serves the needs of
developers and supports the open source ecosystem for continued
innovation," said Julia Liuson, Corporate Vice President, Developer
Division at Microsoft. "We believe the new enterprise tiers of Azure
Cache for Redis will help companies deliver their most critical
applications with scale, high availability, and low latency."
Accelerating the move to Azure with confidence
The
new enterprise offering on Azure Cache for Redis will improve developer
productivity, offer greater operational resilience, and increase peace
of mind for companies migrating their databases from on-premise
infrastructure to operating fully in the public cloud. Specifically,
customers will benefit from:
Improved developer productivity
- Use the most up-to-date version of Redis including its native data
structures, probabilistic data structures, streams, time-series, and
search data models
- Deploy a Redis cluster within minutes and scale to terabyte-sized data
sets at the cost of a disk-based datastore by utilizing Redis on Flash
technology
- Familiar Azure Cache for Redis interface and management experience, enabling developers to start immediately with the service
- Native integration with other Azure services for seamless development
Greater resiliency, security, and compliance
- Enterprise-grade SLAs, offering additional uptime through Redis Enterprise's active geo-replication technology
- Support for network isolation
Simplified procurement and billing
- Customers can reduce their total cost of ownership by scaling how much
Redis they need in real-time with consumption-based pricing
- Redis Enterprise consumption becomes part of the customer's monthly Azure bill
