When Cisco Certified Architects (CCAr) was first introduced, it created a lot of discussions among networks engineers, especially those who has archived CCIE. People were confused, not so sure about what the new cert means to them, to the industry, to their company. CCDE was introduced by Cisco not too long ago, while engineers are still disgusting the meaning of CCDE, now Cisco introduced a new certification that is on top of pyramid of Cisco certifications, even about CCIE and the fairly new CCDE. Needless to say, a lot of people are paying attention to the certification, and waiting or maybe racing to see who can be the first batch of CCAr.

While, Cisco has annouced that two individuals have passed the certification. Their names are Alvaro Retana & Khalid Raza. Here are their interviews:
