edis Labs, the home of Redis and
provider of Redis Enterprise, has
announced that Redis Enterprise is
now available for Intel Optane DC persistent
memory across multiple cloud services or
as downloadable software for supported
hardware from companies participating in
Intel’s hardware beta program.
Redis Enterprise gives developers the
flexibility to choose between the two modes
of operation offered by Intel Optane DC
persistent memory. Using Memory Mode,
Redis Enterprise-powered applications can
achieve comparable performance to DRAM
with significant cost benefits. Developers
can achieve even greater cost savings using
AppDirect mode with Redis Enterprise,
while still delivering significantly faster
performance compared to NVMe.
The combination of Redis Enterprise and
Intel Optane DC persistent memory enables

customers to scale to multi-terabytes of
data at a much more attractive price point
than alternate solutions. Redis Enterprise’s
multi-model capabilities which encompass
core data structures (including the new Redis
Streams) and modules (ReJSON, RedisGraph
and RediSearch) all perform at a sub-
millisecond response time for any operation
with persistent memory. Additionally, Redis
Enterprise can be deployed in an active-
active (CRDT-based) manner across geo-
regions, while keeping a similar cost structure
of much slower databases.
“We’ve worked closely with Intel’s
engineering teams to address real-world
challenges we see across more than
750,000 Redis Enterprise databases
under our management,” said Yiftach
Shoolman, Co-founder and CTO at Redis
Labs. “Traditionally, Redis users have split
their dataset across multiple databases to
avoid the relatively high deployment cost
associated with high-memory (DRAM)
capacity servers. Redis Enterprise, in
combination with Intel Optane DC persistent
memory, allows developers to simplify their
database deployment by keeping the entire
dataset in a single multi-model database-
Redis and keep the cost structure similar to
disk-based databases, while enjoying sub-
millisecond response time at any scale for
simple and complex use cases.”
“Intel and Redis Labs have collaborated in the
development of next-generation memory
technologies beginning with NVMe to
persistent memory today,” said Alper Ilkbahar,
Vice President and General Manager, Data
Centre Memory and Storage Solutions at
Intel. “With its deep technical knowledge
of customers’ high-performance data tier
architecture, Redis Labs has optimised Redis
Enterprise to leverage the benefits of Intel
Optane DC persistent memory to meet the
needs of our customers.” n
