RE: CCIE Data Center announced

Personally I am excited about this. I have been designing, installing and
configuring UCS, N7/5/2K and ACE solutions for years now. I am very curious
as to how they will test the UCS B series as you traditionally build an
environment from scratch then put VMware on it and build that infrastructure
out. With Nexus, I am curious if they will include OTV, DCB, multiple VDCs
and extensive use of vPC. Another confounding question is the L3 card that
you can use in the Nexus 5K switches . I hope to take the written soon.
