Azure Redis Cache offering is a Software as a service (SAAS) offering of the opensource Redis cache. You should be able to get started with the resource below:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/services/cache/
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/services/redis-cache/
There is good support for C# via 'StackExchange.Redis' nuget package. However, please explore if your application needs or will benefit from a cache solution before you get to the implementation.

Azure Cache for Redis provides an in-memory data store based on the Redis software. Redis improves the performance and scalability of an application that uses backend data stores heavily In my application I have stored around 5 millions key/value data with each key containing around 800 records in json format under Redis cache. Called the Redis using stackexchange library(1.2.6) since the application does not support the latest version
