That's a pretty vague question.  IOS and NX-OS are pretty different 
animals, and there are lots of differences in the hardware.  A lot of the 
general recommendations that would apply in most other switching 
environments would apply in a Nexus environment.

good starting point:

Another good link, that goes into more detail re: the differences between 
IOS and NX-OS may be found here:
