Update on Jan 20, 2017: In August 2016, we introduced Unlimited Availability of ObjectRocket for Redis on AWS. Since that time, we have decided to leverage our existing Rackspace infrastructure for hosting Redis and End of Life the existing Redis on AWS infrastructure. However, we are now providing an AWS DirectConnect link bringing fully managed HA Redis closer to AWS customer’s applications while offering the same core features that exist on Rackspace infrastructure. For more information on AWS Direct Connect, check out our blog post:
What Does AWS Direct Connect Have to do with ObjectRocket?
At ObjectRocket, our vision is to offer our products and support where our customers’ applications live. We’re excited to announce the availability of ObjectRocket for Redis on the AWS infrastructure. This is the first of many services to come giving customers choice in who manages their data regardless of the cloud on which it lives.
One of the first reasons developers are attracted to Redis is its performance. As an in-memory data store, Redis is highly attractive for uses cases involving quick reads and writes in a simple but flexible data structure. A Redis instance physical location is very important to maximize this performance and reduce latency as much as possible.
ObjectRocket Redis is purpose-built to be easy, fast, and fully managed, allowing customers to focus on their application and core business rather than spending time managing their Redis infrastructure.
