CCIE: Data Center thread

Zartanasaurus

I haven't touched anything cert wise in some time. Very burnt out and I have other hobbies I'd like to spend my non-working time on. Even the idea of studying for the v5 Written to renew my CCIE makes me feel "eh".

I'm right there with you. I passed the CCIE SP written and decided not to go for the lab as I was too burnt out. I have financial incentive for another track, but I'm postponing until after my 3rd (and last) little one arrives in early 2015.

Still not back to this yet, but I'm doing some of the tests on the CCNP: DC path for our partner levels at work. I did purchase an IPX subscription since I think their DC material will be better than INE's. Anyone who has a sub to IPX gets 50% off their workbooks. And they are running a 50% off promo this weekend, so I bought both workbooks for 75% off. Probably will be a few months before I jump in (VCP up next probably), but I figured I'd lock in the super cheap price now.

Hmm - CCNP: DC isn't a bad idea. If my understanding is correct, with a CCIE, one can now directly sit the CCNP: DC exams? I.e. no need for CCNA: DC

Yeah CCIE can be counted as a prereq to just about everything, if not everything.
