Redis Enterprise Flash on Intel Optane

Intel has announced the availability of Optane, an NVMe-based SSD device built on top of the new persistent memory technology from Intel and Micron, 3D XPoint. Redis Enterprise Flash (RF) product was built with a similar approach in mind. The RF benchmark using Optane drives showed impressive results compared to the previous generation of Intel’s NVMe-based SSD, the P3700. RF maintains performance similar to that of RAM while dramatically reducing server infrastructure costs. In tests on AWS, the new Intel Optane SSD delivered more than nine times the throughput using Redis Enterprise Flash.
