My own opinion is that there is far more value to be had and offered in the
CCIE / Security certification, and that is where Cisco should place its
support and resources.
In my dealings with customers over the last year I find that as far as
design goes, the solution to every problem is more bandwidth, and the
companies that have money will spend it foolishly, and the companies that
don't will just do it as cheaply as possible no matter what the
consequences. So design becomes merely a matter of slapping together a bunch
of boxes in the desired price range with the ability to connect via the
transport mechanism of choice.
Security, on the other hand, is a skill that transcends Cisco specific
solutions, and will provide value to the certified individual and his/her
customers for some time to come.

Subject: CCIE Design Lab
- Just talked to the registrar at San Jose and was
informed that the Design Lab is going to face a
critical decision regarding it's future.
The decision is to go forward with a redesigned
Design lab, or to pull it's proverbial plug.
Is it time to give Cisco a show of support for
the Design program? The Design CCIE has been
touted as the "Master CCIE" program because of
the unrealistic mix of product that can possibly
be seen on the lab exam.
The "life or death" decision is supposed to be
made in the beginning of April.
- Does anybody else have any other details regarding
the fate of CCIE Design program?
