Redis, which joins Memcached as an option for Magento hosting clients, is a powerful open source in-memory key-value data store that allows for efficient caching of data from Magento. Redis is positioned in front of Magento, caching the result of requests to the eCommerce application and returning responses to subsequent requests more quickly than would be possible otherwise. By holding the cache in RAM, Redis can significantly enhance front and back-end performance for eCommerce stores, resulting in a better experience for shoppers and leading to lower cart abandonment rates, decreased bounce rates, and increased revenue.

“For eCommerce hosting clients, there is a direct correlation between site performance and revenue,” commented Chris Wells, President and CEO of Nexcess. “Over the last few years, we’ve put considerable time and effort into building an eCommerce hosting platform that provides unbeatable performance and stability. Adding Redis as an option for Magento hosting clients is part of our ongoing commitment to give them the tools they need to offer the ideal eCommerce experience to their customers.”
