How far does a million dollars get you when you're buying redundant Cisco equipment for 6 datacenters?

Far if its all leases acquired with cheap money.
Who buys equipment upfront for cash at that scale?

In any event, they're deploying obsolete gear. The Nexus 7000 and Nexus 5000 switches they just deployed are basically end of life.

End of life does not equal non-functioning. Companies continue to use end of life gear in production environments (Cisco Pix anyone?).
