Magento Announces Enterprise Cloud Edition (ECE)

This week at the annual Imagine Conference Magento announced Enterprise Cloud Edition (ECE), a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment for the Magento 2 e-Commerce platform.

What This Is All About

Currently, finding a strong, robust hosting environment for Magento platforms has been a challenge for some users. With ECE being built on Amazon’s proven Web Service infrastructure (AWS) this concern should be alleviated for many.

The benefits of ECE will place it as the premier option for anyone who is – or currently looking at – Magento for their e-Commerce platform including elastic scalability, PCI compliance, global availability, and automated patching.
