AppFog - Redis Cloud overview

Redis Cloud is a fully-managed service for running your Redis dataset. It overcomes Redis’ scalability limitation by supporting all Redis commands at any dataset size. Your dataset is constantly replicated, so if a node fails, an auto-switchover mechanism guarantees data is served without interruption. Redis Cloud provides various data persistence options as well as remote backups for disaster recovery purposes.

Redis Cloud completely frees you from dealing with nodes, clusters, scaling, data-persistence configuration and failure recovery, while guaranteeing absolutely no data loss. The service guarantees the best performance - you always get the highest throughput and lowest latency as if you were running the strongest cloud instance.

You can quickly and easily get your apps up and running with Redis Cloud through its add-on for AppFog, just tell us how much memory you need and get started instantly with your first Redis database. You can then add as many Redis databases as you need (each running in a dedicated process, in a non-blocking manner) and increase or decrease the memory size of your plan without affecting your existing data. You can easily import an existing dataset to any of your Redis Cloud databases, from your S3 account or from any other Redis server. Daily backups are performed automatically and in addition, you can backup your dataset manually at any given time.
