HostBridge Redis® for z/OS® brings Redis, the in-memory, NoSQL data store at the heart of today’s ultra-scalable mobile and cloud apps, to the IBM z Systems™ platform for the first time. IBM z Systems customers can use HostBridge Redis to address today’s major market drivers – cloud architectures that embrace z/OS assets; rapid data sharing across any platform, system, or device; and real-time analytics.

Guiding Principle How HostBridge Redis Delivers HostBridge believes IBM z Systems customers will Built on the latest Redis code base, HostBridge gain the greatest benefit from their investments Redis includes innovative features that offer a when they expose mainframe apps and data using range of benefits to the z Systems customer: the same high-performance, standards-based  In-memory data caching: permits much faster technologies adopted by today’s mobile, cloud, request/response processing than is possible and analytics innovators. Guided by this principle, with traditional HostBridge Redis for z/OS puts the speed,  Advanced key-value store (allowing complex scalability, and economy of Redis data processing values of up to 512 MB): provides more flexible to work for z Systems customers. data structures to transcend the limitations of

traditional relational or hierarchical models HostBridge Redis for z/OS  Data persistence: yields dependability, scal- Running inside z/OS, HostBridge Redis is a high- ability, fault tolerance, and ACID compliance performance, modernizing extension to (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and transaction processing systems such as CICS® and Durability) IMS™, and to traditional systems such as DB2®, VSAM™, and Datacom®. Customers who  High availability via Redis Sentinel option and shift portions of their existing data workloads to its failover capabilities: ensures near-100- HostBridge Redis, or use Redis to run new percent uptime workloads, will gain significant benefits. They will  Asynchronous replication via master-slave and be able to share their most valuable data with publish-subscribe models: enables ultra- distributed apps across any platform, inside or scalability and multi-platform data sharing. outside the enterprise, at lightning speed, and with unparalleled scalability. By doing so, they will Replication In & Beyond the Enterprise add value to their traditional data systems while Regardless of platform, users and systems can reducing processing costs. have access to the same high-value data in real time. HostBridge Redis can be replicated across: zIIP-Eligible HostBridge Redis  Multiple z/OS address spaces HostBridge Redis can run on the z Systems’ general purpose processor or the zIIP.
