ServerIrons don't cache. They can be used for transparent redirection of requests to a cache (I think), and to support multiple caches in a load-sharing configuration (for sure). Other vendors of similar products are cisco (formerly Arrowpoint) and Nortel (formerly Alteon).
If you're looking for this kind of fanciness in your switches, you should also check out products by f5 networks. I have never used their switches, but I heard some impressive stories about what you can do with them the other week in Wellington.
