Hi,
To improve performance, we cache permissions and settings etc, so we need distributed caching to keep public and back-end website data consistent.
Thanks, but that isn't really an answer to why the choice was made to go with Redis in particular, just why caching in general is a good thing.
Related question, should we consider using something like Memurai instead which seems to run natively on Windows?

I should perhaps add that we have been able to install and configur Redis on a development machine and it seem to be working so this is more a question of WHY than HOW.
For anyone reading this interested in the HOW:

Thanks.
