Load WordPress Faster with Redis on Rackspace Cloud Server Performance Flavor. You Need Not To Pay BadKid, WAPEngine etc. arbitrary named Premium Services to Get Faster WordPress.

It is never possible to have a team with excellent grab on UNIX commands unless they are quite larger – be it Rackspace, Amazon, HP Cloud, IBM or Fujitsu.
When we write or say “Amazon is bad’, it implies it should be more better than they we expect.

It is not a good idea to get in to hand of a Middle Man.
Well, I Am Ready To Load WordPress Faster with Redis on Rackspace Cloud Server But What is Redis?
Redis typically holds the whole dataset in memory. Persistence is now reached in two different ways: one is called snapshotting, and is a semi-persistent durability mode where the dataset is asynchronously transferred from memory to disk from time to time, written in RDB dump format. Redis is an open-source, networked, key-value data store with optional durability. It is written in ANSI C Language. The development of Redis has been sponsored by Pivotal and VMware.

Yes, it is possible to use Hearbeat-Pacemaker configuration (we have guide but not linking) for HA Cloud. For real performance, one will need Physical Servers, isolated network etc. These are not needed for websites with only content. Websites like Pinterest, DMOZ, AOL, BMW will need them, they need HTTP Caching as well. WordPress, honestly can run from a Mac Mini from Home, if you can maintain the aspects of server maintenance. Use known, Industry’s Standard Softwares.
