Cisco Data Center Architecture announcement today (Nexus 7000 and FEX?)

Contents

Just a quick post on something I noticed today on the Cisco Data Center Architecture announcement today. The slide below got my attention, and quick!  If you look at what I have circled, you will see a reference to a Nexus 2248TP FEX that is supported on the Nexus 7000 switch.
Cisco slide titled Continued Innovations and Investment Protection, with the Nexus 2248TP FEX supported on the Nexus 7000 circled in red
When I check out the Cisco website ( http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10783/ ) for the Nexus 2248TP, it also referenced the Nexus 7000 as a parent switch.  I have heard rumors of this for quite some time – but have never seen anything official on it until today.  Perhaps I have had my head in the sand because of the Nexus install that I was working on.
Oh yeah, notice the Cisco 6513 there – 2TB+ switching capacity?  Hmm… New Supervisor 2 TB coming?
