Hello,
I just read about g-wan server that seems to be the new kid on the block: http://gwan.com/
Does anyone have it up and running with Drupal? According the the G-WAN team that also runs http://www.engineon.com/ they have Drupal available for the platform.
Curious of anyone's experience.

Any news?
Giorgio, did you managed to get Drupal running on g-wan? Or anything that is mixed: nginx, varnish, apache & gwan?

Wow. That site design is
Wow. That site design is terrible, and the content text is full of such bloviating. And closed source means there's no ports for OS X or BSD. Think I'll stick with the more humble and widely available Nginx for now.
At any rate, it looks like the sort of thing that G-WAN has in mind is something where the server and app are really tightly integrated, and, for example, you're telling the server what HTTP headers and status codes to send and those sorts of things that PHP apps don't generally have to worry about so much. It might take a bit of work to get Drupal to work with this.

What else is interesting.
What else is interesting. They list support for Drupal and Joomla, yet nothing about PHP:
http://www.engineon.com/technologies.html
Considering how widely used PHP is (39% of sites according to Netcrafts latest), you would think that they would publicize that, if they indeed support it. Also nothing about Wordpress? That kind of leads me to believe that they are doing some kind of compiling of code, possibly with HipHop or some other customization. That also means you are at their reigns when an update comes out or anything, and modules become a problem.
I did sign up for an account just so I can check it out in a VM. I'm really curious to see what they are doing.

Interesting indeed

I think I'll stick a little bit longer with Apache + Varnish.
