Redis is a simple key-value oriented NoSQL, which can be used as a cache server and as a persistence server. This chapter showcased how simple it is to install Redis in multiple environments, including Windows (Redis can also be used in cloud environments, such as Amazon EC2). The installation for Windows should be used for development and sampling purposes only.

Redis has an interesting set of data structures, and it is sometimes called the data structure server. The next chapter will cover data structure in detail.
