Now I come to think about it, he's probably referring to Nokia's IP series
high-availability firewall routers. (IP330, IP650 etc)

These are fast pentium boxes which run Checkpoint FW1 on a proprietary
BSDish OS called IPSO that Nokia have developed.

Very expensive, but very cool. You can cluster them so they do automatic
failover at an IP level using VRRP. Checkpoint State syncronisation takes
care of things at a higher level.
