You can run self-managed Redis Enterprise Software in an on-premises data center or on your preferred cloud platform.
If you prefer a fully managed Redis database-as-a-service, available on major public cloud services, consider setting up a [Redis Cloud]({{<relref "/operate/rc">}}) subscription. You can try Redis Cloud for free.
If you want to try out Redis Enterprise Software, see the following quickstarts:

To install Redis Enterprise Software on a [supported platform]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.22/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/supported-platforms" >}}), you need to:
[Plan your deployment]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.22/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment" >}}).
[Prepare to install]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.22/installing-upgrading/install/prepare-install" >}}).
[Perform the install]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.22/installing-upgrading/install" >}}).
Depending on your needs, you may also want to customize the installation.
If you already installed Redis Enterprise Software, you can:
[Upgrade a cluster]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.22/installing-upgrading/upgrading/upgrade-cluster" >}})
[Upgrade a database]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.22/installing-upgrading/upgrading/upgrade-database" >}})

After you install Redis Enterprise Software and set up your cluster, you can:
[Add users]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.22/security/access-control/create-users" >}}) to the cluster with specific permissions. To begin, start with [Access control]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.22/security/access-control" >}}).
