Hazelcast vs Redis

Seven reasons Hazelcast is the best caching technology.

A faster alternative to Redis

If you need your applications to run faster, one way to speed them up is to use a data cache. This lets you reduce the bottlenecks associated with the latency of accessing a disk-based store. A cache leverages the speed of random access memory (RAM) for fast accesses to data. Download this free white paper and learn the key differences between Hazelcast Platform and Redis.

Hazelcast vs. Redis in Throughput Performance

In the chart below, you can see how Hazelcast shows a significant performance throughput advantage over another caching technology (Redis) at higher loads.

HAZELCAST VS. REDIS COMPARING TOTAL OPERATIONS PER SECOND

Hazelcast Platform is designed from the ground up to be used in a distributed environment; Redis was initially intended to be used in standalone mode. Clustered Redis does not support SELECT command, meaning it only supports a single DB (namespace) per cluster. In contrast, Hazelcast Platform supports unlimited number of maps and caches per cluster making it a good alternative for Redis cache as well.

In this white paper, we will first discuss the baseline capabilities you should expect from caching technologies today. Then we will discuss how Hazelcast offers a set of proven capabilities, beyond what other technologies provide, that make it worth exploring for your caching needs.
