The Nexus 7000 Series seem to be targeted to the same segment space As the Extreme boxes, Not quite service provider but they should do Well on the Metro Ethernet service delivery as Edge boxes given that They don’t support MPLS.

Juniper entered the Metro-E space with the MX-series line to compete with Cisco and Foundry, and if I say so myself, the MX boxes are quite decent - 100Gbps capable per slot. The Nexus 7000 series, however, is not service provider grade. It's targeted more toward enterprise data centres. With the current features, not so sure we'd be looking at it for our data centres. It doesn't even support MPLS (while Juniper's EX's do). Cheers, Mark.
