    In  the  context  of computers (and thus any WEB server), the
    word "Power" only reminds me to something measured  in  Volts
    and Amperes. So I just wanted to get rid of it.

    I   really   liked   the   "PostgreSQL  underneath"  for  the
    crocodiles.  But that doesn't fit for an elephant.

    What about these:

        PostgreSQL
        in background

        PostgreSQL
        accelerated

        Supported by
        PostgreSQL

        PostgreSQL
        driven

    Or just without any such wording - why not?
