A few machines where you install the different tools. So you wouldn't need to manage a complete VM, or install apache for your web app. You would place the tool in the appropiate dir and it _should_ just work. Quite similar to how toolserver worked, but more tool-centric (as if you created a MMP per tool, but easier).
