Valkey is championed by the [Linux Foundation](https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/valkey-8-0) and supported by an impressive cohort of major corporate sponsors including NetApp, AWS, Google Cloud and Alibaba. Valkey’s initial release has been designed to maximize compatibility and easy migration from Redis clusters. All command line and API calls will remain the same, and a Valkey node can even join a Redis cluster to make migration as simple as possible. Key features of the Instaclustr Managed Platform for Valkey include: - **Simple migration**: Valkey nodes can join either existing Redis or Valkey clusters to make migration simple. - **High Availability and Reliability**: Valkey is designed to deploy as a cluster, mirroring the high reliability and availability that users have come to expect from top-tier database solutions. - **Monitoring and Automated Failure Detection**: With state-of-the-art instrumentation, Instaclustr for Valkey ensures that monitoring and failure detection are seamless and automated, providing peace of mind for developers and businesses alike. - **Optimized Performance and Cost Efficiency**: A variety of instance sizes are available, each selected to provide the best balance between performance and economy for different use cases. - **Fully automated and managed backups**: Having reliable backups is a must. Instaclustr will take daily backups and can restore on demand with self-service options. - **Security and Compliance**: SOC2, ISO 27001, ISO 270118, and PCI–compliance allowing customer to provision clusters with confidence. - **Enterprise Support**: For customers choosing to self-manage Valkey, 24×7 expert and dedicated support is available. As with our previous offerings, Valkey is built with the same dedication to security and support that has characterized our managed services. Our expert support team is equipped and ready to provide 24×7 coverage and [leading SLAs](https://www.netapp.com/how-to-buy/sales-terms-and-conditions/terms-with-customers/general-terms/services-terms/cloud-services-service-specific-terms/instaclustr/), ensuring that your experience with Valkey is nothing short of exceptional. Existing Redis platform customers have already been contacted directly to start migration planning. Support-only customers can continue to enjoy support for Redis until October 31, 2025, during which time we will support any migrations to Valkey. Along with the release on our platform, we are pleased to also offer enterprise support packages for Valkey immediately.
