Why are you connecting to a Redis box across the internet? There's a great (and after Heartbleed, prophetic) post on the Varnish web site about why they don't implement SSL, I imagine Redis would be similar: https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/ssl.html
Varnish is other thing. For cross-datacenter replication you will want SSL. So for Redis Cluster it's a necessary thing.
What is the best alternative for redis?
http://memcached.org/ used to be. I haven't done system architecture in about 2 years but when we were looking at in memory databases, it came down to Redis or Memcache. Depending on what you need your database for, there are some that perform better than others. You can check this site for comparisons: http://kkovacs.eu/cassandra-vs-mongodb-vs-couchdb-vs-redis
Memcached is just a cache. Don't store anything there you can't lose.

Look at HyperDex http://hyperdex.org/
Last time I looked into HyperDex it requires proprietary extensions to get access to all of its features.
Still no SSL, so using redis-client still just spews your password out all over the internet.
I'm happy that redis doesn't implement SSL, it just shows that they are prioritizing relevant features.

For cross-datacenter replication you should be using a secured VPN anyway.
upd.: don't get me wrong, Redis is my favorite DB, really. But better to be objective.

No, if your db can use SSL, then additional layer of complexity is not required. upd.: don't get me wrong, Redis is my favorite DB, really. But better to be objective.
Here's the full cluster spec: http://redis.io/topics/cluster-spec Looking forward to seeing it taken apart by aphyr. Congrats to Salvatore and the rest of the redis committers!

It's hard to imagine every service in your infrastructure implementing SSL would be more secure than a single VPN tool. You are very optimistic about the difficulties of getting security right.
