## Redis Flex versus Auto Tiering
30+
31+
Redis Flex is the enhanced successor to Auto Tiering, generally available as of Redis Enterprise Software version 8.0.2.
32+
33+
Redis database versions support Redis Flex and Auto Tiering as follows:
34+
35+
| Redis database version | Redis Flex | Auto Tiering |
36+
|------------------------|------------|--------------|
37+
| 8.0 and later | <span title="Supported">&#x2705;</span> | <span title="Not supported">&#x274c;</span> |
38+
| 7.4 | <span title="Supported">&#x2705;</span> | <span title="Supported">&#x2705;</span>|
39+
| 7.2 and earlier | <span title="Not supported">&#x274c;</span> | <span title="Supported">&#x2705;</span> |
40+
41+
Redis Flex requires the Speedb driver, while Auto Tiering can use either RocksDB or Speedb. See [Manage Auto Tiering storage engine]({{<relref "/operate/rs/databases/flash/storage-engine">}}) for more information.
