What is this thing exactly? Looks like it'll be loud AF. Is it a server that has some special OS on it for networking?
It's a switch (forgot what asics) bundled with a purpose built server running their custom software. I met with pluribus a few years ago when this switch first came out. They gave me a demo and I was floored. If I had the budget I would have bought them right then and there.
The thing I liked most was the built-in analytics. It can also perform packet captures on the fly, any port, with tons of local storage.
Also, they form a single management fabric. You can log into any switch in the fabric and see and configure any other switch.
Significant overkill for almost any home lab, but very cool.
