CCIE Voice v3.0

By Dennis Hartmann on Wed, 12/03/08 - 7:24pm.

On December 1st, Cisco announced changes to the CCIE Voice program that will take place some time in July 2009.

The new CCIE Voice will no longer include the following hardware:

Catalyst 6000 / 6608-T1 gateway module
ATA-186
VG248

The new CCIE Voice will use the 7.0 versions of the following Cisco Unified Communications software:

Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express
Cisco Unity Express (NME-CUE)
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express
Cisco Unified Presence
Cisco Unity Connection (no more Cisco Unity)

All routers will use 12.4 T code and the 3550 switches will be upgraded to 3750 switches.

The new lab format should make it less expensive for those of us setting up a CCIE Voice study lab at home. No longer do we need to find a legacy CatOS chassis based switch to practice on.

The new lab topology is also interesting in that it reflects the new state of competition between Cisco and Microsoft in the Unified Communications space by putting the emphasis on Unity Connection (Linux based) and removing Unity (Windows based) from the lab.

Now after the V3 is out and running. I strongly feel that it has made the Exam preparation much more easier and less complicated and less expensive (thanks to the removal of 6500 and Unity).

Looking forward to take the Lab in 2Q 2010.
