A FoundationDB database can scale "horizontally" by adding multiple machines to a cluster, and you can scale the cluster up by adding more machines. This is opposed to standard SQL databases which provide one or more databases per server, but never one database from multiple servers.
That statement has really no foundation and maybe the founders of FoundationDB should read a introduction to distributed database book, for example "Principles of Distributed Database Systems" by Özsu and Valduriez.
