Tech Ed India 2014 Day 1 /2 Update Redis Cache

Thought of putting up the new feature Microsoft has for Azure/.net on Redis Cache.

Redis Cache in .Net and Azure

• Redis is an open source, BSD licensed, advanced key-value cache and store. It is often referred to as a data struc­ture server since keys can con­tain strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps and hyperloglogs

• Microsoft Azure Redis Cache is based on the pop­u­lar open source Redis Cache. It gives you access to a secure, ded­i­cated Redis cache, man­aged by Microsoft. A cache cre­ated using Azure Redis Cache is acces­si­ble from any appli­ca­tion within Microsoft Azure.
