Is Redis just a cache?

I have been reading some Redis docs and trying the tutorial at http://try.redis-db.com/. So far, I can’t see any difference between Redis and caching technologies like Velocity or the Enterprise Library Caching Framework

You’re effectively just adding objects to an in-memory data store using a unique key. There do not seem to be any relational semantics…

What am I missing?
