Chapel Hill, November 1, 2017—CData Software, a leading provider of standards-based drivers and data access solutions for real-time data integration today announced the availability of new ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET drivers for Redis, the widely adopted open source high-performance in-memory data store used as a database, cache or message broker. The result of a collaboration between CData Software and Redis, the new Redis drivers offer seamless connectivity to any data structure stored in Redis open source and Redis Enterprise through industry standard driver interfaces.

Redis is the home of open source Redis and commercial provider of Redis Enterprise, the world’s most popular in-memory database platform for transactional, analytics and hybrid deployments. The high performance, true high availability, enhanced security and seamless scaling of Redis Enterprise enhance popular Redis use cases including high-speed transactions, job & queue management, user session stores, real-time data ingest, notifications, content caching and time-series data. Redis Enterprise is offered as a fully managed service in public clouds, in customer’s virtual private clouds, and as downloadable software.

“Customers are leveraging the incredible data access speeds of Redis to build the next generation of data-driven applications,” said Amit Sharma, CEO at CData Software. “As one of the top in-memory datastores in use worldwide, applications are utilizing Redis for more than just caching.
