I don't agree with that statement (about rare to find big companies using Nexus).  If you want 10 gig/40 gig (or 100 
gig soon) your options are Cisco Nexus/Arista/Juniper QFX...some periphery devices as well, but the majority use one of 
those 3. 

The merchant silicon based switches are pretty reasonably priced too.

As opposed to?

We are looking at the Nexus 7700 for 100Gbps core switching.
