Company’s Magento-Optimized Stack on AWS Gives Merchants Running High-Volume Ecommerce Sites Full Benefits of the Cloud
SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK — September 22, 2014 — Engine Yard, the leading cloud application management platform, is delivering the full benefits of the cloud to businesses with high-performance ecommerce apps through its continued investment in Magento. Leveraging its tuned, curated cloud application platform and deep experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Engine Yard is announcing several new features that will support automated deployment of high-volume Magento Enterprise Edition (EE) and Community Edition (CE) sites.
“Engine Yard has had a tremendous impact on managing and automating the deployment of cloud apps,” said Jim Burleigh, COO of Engine Yard. “With more than a billion hours of experience on AWS, we’re now applying our expertise to Magento apps. These high-performance ecommerce apps are well-suited to the cloud, but many are still on traditional hosting. Engine Yard is providing a solution to make these apps perform in the cloud for merchants everywhere.”
With the Engine Yard optimized stack for Magento on AWS, merchants experience the true benefits of the cloud with better performance, transaction times and reliability. Merchants can take advantage of the Engine Yard one-click deploy or use fine-grained controls to customize their environments.
The new Engine Yard features provide all of the core components to deploy flexible, secure and scalable Magento applications:
- Application Server Acceleration with Nginx, Varnish and HipHopVirtualMachine (HHVM) – Enables merchants to scale their ecommerce sites to handle many thousands of requests – increasing performance by 10x in many cases.
