Benchmarking Redis Enterprise 5.2.0 vs. Hazelcast 3.9

Hazelcast has published two benchmarks comparing its system against the Redis open source database. In response, a similar benchmark was run between Redis Enterprise and Hazelcast using AWS servers with Ubuntu 16.04 OS version and cluster versions of 5.2.0 for Redis Enterprise and 3.9 for Hazelcast. The benchmark used memtier_benchmark version 1.2.8 for Redis Enterprise and RadarGun version 3.0.0 for Hazelcast, with a read:write ratio of 80:20, 4 million objects, object sizes ranging from 100 bytes to 10,000 bytes, and a total dataset size of 42GB. The results showed that the Redis Enterprise cluster had a much better throughput (over 3.5X) and latency (~3X) compared to Hazelcast.
