Why Is VMware Intersted in Redis?

March 16th, 2010 2 comments

A high profile open source developer Salvatore Sanfilippo (@antirez) joined VMware engineering team today. He is the project owner of Redis. Welcome Salvatore!

As Derek Collision (@derekcollison) described it at a VMware Console Blog,

Redis is a high performance and scalable advanced key-value store where values can be data structures such as lists, sets, and hashmaps, as well as strings and blobs. Redis supports atomic operations on these data structures, allowing extremely high performance with consistent state to many client applications.
