Memcached is just a stupid key-value store, and by stupid I mean it just stores and retrieves values. It's extremely primitive compared to Redis.
It's not even close to the same thing as Redis except superficially.
The key/value part of Redis is just the beginning. The values themselves can be of several different types that allow for a lot more flexibility in how you store and query data.
