RE: OT - ACE Rack Rental?

Congratulations, you are only a few short mouse clicks away from becoming a
Premier Partner overnight (well if you can find a CCNA/DA and a CSE, and
fill in some paperwork). Good luck on Silver. :)

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the tip.

I was actually thinking about becoming some sort of Cisco partner down the
road.
Being a single CCIE, one man shop, what level of partnership do you
think I can attain?
Do I need to meet some sort of sales quotas for Cisco gear first?

Thanks,
Greg
