Redis Flex Adds SSD-Backed Search as DRAM Prices Surge

Redis adds SSD-backed Redis Search to Redis Flex in preview for Redis Cloud Pro, letting customers place large indexes on SSD and set RAM usage from 10% to 50% as server DRAM prices roughly double.

• Redis says Redis Flex lets customers combine RAM and SSD in one database, choose a 10% to 50% RAM ratio per workload, and adjust it as memory prices change.
• Redis says server DRAM prices roughly double in early 2026 after memory makers shift capacity toward AI high-bandwidth memory and cloud providers secure remaining supply.
• Redis Flex now supports Redis Search, with large indexes stored on SSD in preview for Redis Cloud Pro.
