  In a large enterprise, you have to be really passnionate about a new technology to get it approved through a series of excrutiatingly long review process while also working on your assigned projects. Nobody will mind or question your decision if you choose to use MS SQL or Oracle for KV stores because they are corporate standards. Presenting a new technology like Redis requires one to prepare documents for backup, failover , load balancing, support,iniciden management process anlong with a slew of security related reviews. Did I mention that all this while you are also responsible for staying on to of your JIRA tasks ? And even if you do get this technology certified, it means almost nothing on your bonus or yearly review. So yes .. one has to be a "fan" to push new techologies or vendors like RedisLabs in the enterprise. And yes, the process will make you a tad annoyed.

    That seems...sensible. When you start using a new product there's a lot of hidden costs associated with it (backup, failover, load balancing, support, incident management) so you need to take the time to explain why the benefits of that shiny new thing outweigh the costs of all that other stuff.
