Redis is great, but sometimes it isn't always the best solution.
We almost configured it, but instead implemented our own Cache web service and used the built in memory/cache management of that. Yes, it's only accessible via http but it's given us a lot of flexibility. We are primarily using it for caching of large datasets (hundreds of MBs). When service has to be restarted, it makes a call to get all the items it needs.
