From their page it appears to be OpenVZ or some other container-like virtualization. Also since
the CEO will be at the Parallels Summit, and Parallels sponsors OpenVZ so my guess is it's just
that.

"Optimized Apache Web Server" just sounds like marketing speak.

But its good Kool-aid. You see, you take a server in this case Apache, optimize it and you got yourself the bees knees of an optimized server. While your newly optimized server is bending bees knees, its the cats meow able to lap up all manner of parallelism needed by all those dumb terminals that will be connecting to you. So you see, its just a crafty approach to virtualize your containers and convince everyone you don't really need all that software on your PC. Just think of your savings. Apologies for the above non-sense as the mere mention of Cloud computing engages my flux capacitor sending me back to the days of 3720 terminals and IBM 360 mainframes.
