Apparently Antirez is currently working on a cluster solution to Redis, but in the meantime, he's written a good blog post about how to get around the issues:
http://antirez.com/post/redis-presharding.html TL;DR: Redis is light-weight, so just run a bunch of instances on one machine and ring hash among them. If you need to distribute your load in the future, just move some of those instances to a new machine. We've done something like this with good success for things where we need more ram/cpu than one redis instance can provide. Obviously things like set intersections don't work across instances, but if you're not using that (or you make sure your hashing scheme is consistent enough to allow for the intersections you need), it works great.
