Magento Commerce Cloud is the ideal combination of a hosting platform together with the right Magento Commerce features for building a website. We already highlighted reasons to choose Magento Commerce Cloud solution – a perfect choice for merchants who wish to simplify eCommerce website maintenance and, at the same time, acquire a stable platform for developing and growing business.
Magento offers two variations depending on business needs – Magento Commerce Cloud: Starter and Pro-Plan. Let’s compare these in more detail so you can find the right choice for your company.
Magento Commerce Cloud: Starter-Plan
The Starter-Plan is the perfect solution for smaller B2C and B2B merchants – those who are starting an e-commerce business and seeking simple configurations to build their website. In this case, users do not expect a huge number of SKUs, and it’s understood that, at least initially, traffic won’t be high.
The Starter Plan includes:
- Magento 2 core features;
- PayPal Onboarding Tool;
- Business Intelligence;
- Сloud integration tools;
- Magento 2 Fastly Content Delivery Network (CDN);
- Image Optimization (IO);
- The Web Application Firewall (WAF) (*service is available in the Production environment);
- New Relic APM (for performance monitoring) on 3 branches;
- Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) based Production, Staging, and development environments (*4 active environments);
- Multi-tenant shared infrastructure;
- 100k effective SKUs*;
- 3 Hour Technical Onboarding;
- 24×7 Support Ticket;
- Initial Support Response: SLA P1-2hr, P2-1d, P3-2d, P4-5d.
Magento Commerce Cloud: Pro-Plan
The Pro-Plan is perfect for B2C and B2B merchants who have the expectation of fast future growth. If a website needs to be prepared for sophisticated integrations and spikes (non-linear increases in traffic) – Pro-Plan is ideal.
The Pro-Plan includes:
- All features from Starter-Plan and Magento 2 core features;
- Plus B2B module;
- New Relic Infrastructure on Production environments & APM (Performance Monitoring) on Staging and Production;
- Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) based Integration development environments (*8 total active environments);
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) — dedicated virtual infrastructure for Production and Staging environments;
- Architecture with a three-server setup in underlying IaaS to provide stable reliability and availability;
- Dedicated hardware setup in underlying IaaS;
- 24×7 monitoring and email support;
- Dedicated technical account management for the initial launch period;
- 8M effective SKUs;
- Initial Support Response: P1-1h, P2-4h, P3-1d, P4-3d.
