N7K is a dead platform, it's over complicated and over priced. We're seeing a shift for more focussed and simplified products in the DC vs huge monolithic switches. If you're in that BU or rely on the product, get out whist you can. Even campus doesn't want it, the L3 and MPLS license on it is huge (ignoring the huge tin cost).
Don't forget Cat9k.... yet another datacenter switch.
That was the worst session of GSX for me, so cold too
cat9400 is not even matching previous cat4k feature set. Forget Datacenter, i would be happy if it brings new customer for enterprise.
Cat 9K is more marketing Refresh than product innovation. 9300 = 3850, 9400 = 4500. The past is the future.

Cisco is a sales company. What's the difference between Nexus 7k and 9k? Both were Mario's babies. The bottom line for CSCO is to rearward Wall Street. Who cares there's any difference. Your best luck is to get an Arista, if you can.
