I received a certificate laminated on a plaque for attending a one day
training event covering Kalpana switches. It really looked neat. Had I hung
it on my wall it would have been advertising for them. Cisco are you
listening?
Trivia. The fellow who started the company named it after his wife whose
name is Kalpana. It means "imagination".
