I have just introduced Redis into our application and I am not sure where best to install in production. I read that the Windows option is not production quality so i need to install on Linux.
I currently have 5 redhat boxes and cannot get any more provisioned at this current time. These consist of Active/Passive HaProxy load balancer and a cluster of three RabbitMQ boxes.
Where would you install the Active/Passive redis instances?
Update – My knowledge of linux is limited. i do not know if it is normal to install apps alongside HaProxy or should a HaProxy instance be left as a SRP box.

What exactly are you asking for?
Redis is not officially supported on Windows, so there should be no question about installing it on the RHEL boxes.
Redis RPMs are available at http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=redis
Redis is a memory hungry process, so you will want to install it on the instances that have the most spare RAM.
