What should I use Managed Databases for Caching for?
Session caching
With Caching, you can give your website users a smooth experience with reduced loading times. For example, they can find items stored in their cart more quickly thanks to the data stored in RAM.
Queueing
Peak requests for your website or application will be nothing to fear. The Redis™ database management system (DBMS) allows optimised processing according to the size of your queue.
Real-time analysis
Take advantage of real-time analysis performances to customise the user experience of your application or website. Offer your customers new services with low latency.

Features
Main features of Managed Databases for Caching
High, reliable performance
With its management of RAM data storage, the open-source Redis™ database offers access times of less than a millisecond, even if you have a lot of unstructured data.
Advanced data structures
The open-source Redis™ database is more than just a key-value database engine. It offers a wide variety of data structures to suit your developers’ needs: strings, lists, sets, sorted sets, hashes, bitmaps, logs, hyperlogs, and geospatial indexes with radius queries and streams.
Publisher/Subscriber
The open-source Redis™ database offers a message publishing and subscription mechanism, allowing you to distribute your content to the most relevant subscribers. This splitting allows for a more dynamic network topology.
Advanced sizing capabilities
To achieve the desired level of performance, Caching allows you to scale a system’s resources (vertical scaling) or add or remove nodes from a cluster (horizontal scaling).
Geospatial support
The geospatial data structures and performances of the open-source Redis™ database make it an ideal tool for geolocation-based applications. Its indexing allows you to process and analyse user data in real time, from IoT devices or other sources.
Managed Databases for Caching combines security and availability
Flexible data persistence
You can configure and schedule backups of your data on a hard disk using a snapshot of the database. This can be useful for both recovery and archiving. The persistence structure (RDB or AOF) also adapts to your needs to avoid data loss.
High availability
The open-source Redis™ database uses a primary/secondary architecture to replicate data, so you get high read performance and easy data recovery in the event of an outage.
Eviction policy
The open-source Redis™ database has a maximum memory setting that controls how much data can be stored. What’s more, you can choose from six eviction policies to set the behaviour that the engine should apply once this limit is reached.
Transactions
Transactions allow the sequential execution of a group of commands in a single isolated operation. They are also atomic: either all the commands are processed or none are processed. It is not possible for a query from another client to be processed in the middle of a transaction.
Language support
The open-source Redis™ software solution is compatible with many programming languages used by your developers, including Java, Python, PHP, C, C++, C#, JavaScript, Node.js, Ruby, R, and Go.
Managed Databases for Caching is ideal for enterprises
99.95% guaranteed availability
The Enterprise plan offers you a highly available service, with clusters that include several nodes. It also includes a guaranteed service level agreement (SLA) of 99.95%.
Dashboard
The dashboard is integrated directly into your Control Panel, making it easier to manage your users and backups. You can also use it to track statistics for your requests, logs and metrics.
Real-time log and metric visualisation
To analyse or perform diagnostics on your database, you can view up to the last 100 lines of real-time logs.
Private network connectivity (vRack)
With our Business and Enterprise solutions, you can restrict access to your database service via our private network, which offers up to 4 Gbit/s bandwidth.
Terraform support
Save time by automating your deployments. With support for Terraform tools and APIs, you can provision your databases automatically, with the option to maintain multiple environments for your application.
Managed Databases for Caching pricing
You receive a bill at the end of each month, which is calculated based on your database usage per hour. The price depends on the plan you have chosen (Essential, Business or Enterprise).

FAQ
What is the open-source Redis™ software solution?
It is a non-relational, or NoSQL, database management system (DBMS). It stores information in memory, offering extremely short access waiting times. It is mainly used in developing applications for caching, session management and real-time analysis.
What is Managed Databases for Caching?
It is a Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) solution offered on our Public Cloud. We integrate the Redis™ database management system into one or more of our Public Cloud instances and provide it as a turnkey service. The goal of this solution is to save you time by allowing you to focus on building applications rather than managing your database.
Can I install open-source Redis™ on Public Cloud instances myself?
This is possible, provided that you download and obtain the licence for the correct version of the DBMS. However, you will then need to manage and maintain the database yourself; you will not benefit from the advantages we provide with our service.
When should I use the open-source Redis™ software solution instead of Memcached?
Both solutions have in-memory data storage for fast data reading. However, there are some differences, such as how they manage data types. The open-source Redis™ database supports up to 512 MB of character strings and more complex data structures. It also offers data persistence, better cluster management, and a Pub/Sub functionality. Memcached does not offer these features.
What is the difference between the Essential, Business and Enterprise service plans?
They each represent a different level of service on the Public Cloud. Each plan includes various features that suit different applications, including the cluster size, the number of nodes, the network, scalability, or high availability.
Is the data stored in Managed Databases for Caching shared with third parties?
No. You retain complete control over your data. Your service runs on one or more Public Cloud instances with a dedicated storage space.
Can I migrate to nodes with a higher capacity?
Yes. As your RAM or storage requirements increase, you can move to nodes with a higher capacity to better meet your needs. However, you cannot revert to a lower-capacity node.
Is Managed Databases for Caching integrated into the Public Cloud?
It can be used as a resource, or as part of a Public Cloud project. You can manage this from the OVHcloud Control Panel.
Can I connect Managed Databases for Caching to my Bare Metal server?
Yes, you can do this via a public or private network. However, if you would like to deploy Redis™ software on your Bare Metal server, you will need to do this yourself, and then manage and administer your database yourself.
