That may be the Kalpana switch w/custom firmware that Sun sold to use with
their "SPARCcluster" systems (basically a multi-CPU NFS server).

Not much.  I've got one still in my garage in the box you can have for 
cost of shipping.  They're loud, noisy, large, loud, noisy, and only do
10baseT if you have the right cards...  I gave my -1500 and my -2503RS
away, I think...
