Azure Redis Cache

Fully managed, open source���compatible in-memory data store to power fast, scalable application. Azure Redis Cache is based on the popular open-source Redis cache. It is typically used as a cache to improve the performance and scalability of systems that rely heavily on backend data-stores. Performance is improved by temporarily copying frequently accessed data to fast storage located close to the application. With Redis cache, this fast storage is located in-memory with Redis Cache instead of being loaded from disk by a dat
