Ever since eBay Enterprise released the new version of Magento i.e. Magento Community Edition version 1.9 on May 13, 2014 at the Imagine 2014 Global Ecommerce event hosted at Las Vegas, more than 50 enhancements have been introduced in an endeavor to improve the quality and security of the updated platform throughout the product.

Developers in smaller and larger e-commerce agencies/shops are often faced with different development environments. Customers who want to evaluate e-commerce platforms like Magento, OXID or Shopware have to handle everything from downloading the packages, their LAMP stack and installing it on-the-go. Of course, you might have your own virtual machine, but for a quick shot you have to create another virtual host etc.

It is a season of good news for all the online merchants and shoppers. According to the recent report by the eMarketer, the eCommerce industry proudly surpassed the trillion dollars mark in the year 2012. The B2C sales have increased by 21.1 percent and the experts predict that it will increase by another 12.3 percent in the current year. This only gives much more hope and promise to the online merchants to plunge into the deeply rewarding and thriving sea of eCommerce and concentrate their eCommerce websites in a better way to capture the flourishing business potential.
