I saw the new "Cisco Certified Design Expert" but fail to see who would be most interested in this. Maybe it's too new and I haven't grasped it - probably the case.
For the folks that are currently designing networks in a Sr. capacity, what do you value most today? The Cisco CCNP; CCIE; JNCIE; other? Do you see this certification changing the IT landscape or even becoming a cert in demand?
