MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 25, 2016) - Redis Labs, the home of Redis, today announced it was named a leader in the "The Forrester Wave™: Big Data NoSQL, Q3 2016," report by Forrester Research. Redis Labs Enterprise Cluster (RLEC) received the highest evaluation scores possible in eleven out of twenty six categories including Multimodel, In-memory, Data Types, Data Consistency, Workloads, Deployment Architecture and Application Development.

The report claims that "NoSQL is not an option -- it has become a necessity to support next-generation applications. And increasingly, enterprises of all types and sizes are embracing NoSQL to support their business technology (BT) agenda." Redis Labs is recognized as a leader in this report, which it believes demonstrates the power of the passionate community behind open source Redis, and its role in fueling the radical growth and adoption of the in-memory database platform since its inception in 2009.

According to the report: "Redis enables many use cases, including real-time analytics, transactions, data ingestion, translytical, social media, job management, message queuing, and caching." Earlier in the report, it is also stated that "Redis supports both relaxed and strong consistency, a flexible schema-less model, high availability and ease of deployment."

"We are honored to be named a leader by Forrester Research," said Ofer Bengal, co-founder and CEO of Redis Labs. "Redis Labs' explosive growth is testament to the broad support from enterprises that appreciate high availability, scale, and extensibility of our Redis Cloud and Redis Labs Enterprise Cluster offerings.
