IDC Business Value of Amazon ElastiCache

Whitepaper

Maintaining, optimizing, and tuning data-caching technology is tricky and challenging. Increasingly, using such technology in the form of a cloud-based service makes the most sense because it ensures 24 x 7 professional management of the environment and delivers the dynamic scalability that only a cloud-native configuration can provide. One outstanding example of a cloud-based service is Amazon ElastiCache, which enables organizations’ applications to achieve a higher scale while reducing their costs. There are many cost advantages to using a cache, including reducing or eliminating costs otherwise needed to scale your databases, such as licensing costs.
