I haven't priced one, what does that number really include? Is it just the
chassis? In general, the sups/linecards can crank up the price, especially
with those types of interface speeds.

What do you guys think of Nexus 7000 series to be unveiled by Cisco?

The Cisco NX-OS that drives it, has anyone used it before, is it anymuch
different to Cisco-IOS and CatOS? $75k sounds kind a cheap to me, for a
technology that delivers 10GbE optimized switching platform that can
scale up to 40GbE and 100GbE when available!

NO doubt this will target the Data Centre Market and promises to deliver
up to 15TbE some day!
 
Many Thanks
