I'm sure this is in the realm of SILLY now (price-wise and overkill), but since you asked...
They're designed for ISPs, but their smallest one will do 5 Gbps, I believe. And you get the option of internally redundant Processing Engines, which do the HA dance (with keepalives) and will failover in one second (if you set the timers for it). You manually sync 'em when you update one. This also allows you do upgrades without rebooting the router - load the new OS version into the backup PE and then synch 'em and BAMF! it's an upgrade.
I just really love how they separate the Processing Engine from the Forwarding Engine and have modularized stuff on the BSD kernel so you can (virtually) slot in updates/changes
