Actually I've been wondering the same things myself.

The CCIE RS is great but it seems that Cisco is now positioning itself for
the DC 3.0 or is it 4.0 by now...

Anyway there is not alot out on the street for this yet. I just saw a
couple of partner classes DCNI or something like that hit the streets and I
saw something of it earlier for Partners.

Not near enough for it to be the creme de la creme...

And with all the new virtualization...

Where does that leave the traditional RS guy?

Lots of changes but not much to help the people who are ultimately going to
support the changes...
