Redis is neet if your information fits in RAM, but that's not what Cassandra is for.
the dropping prices of RAM lead us to re-evaluate what we consider "data that fits in RAM". at 10Gs it's just more economic, and even if we go up one order of magnitude, the serving speed of redis still makes it economic for a lot of workloads.
