We all know CCIE is a dream for all the certification aspirers, especially those who are Cisco Certified Professionals. I was just wondering how many CCIE certified Experts exists? As per Cisco Systems latest update on 26^th of October 2009 there are 20782 CCIE Professionals Experts worldwide. Interestingly 86% (17891) of CCIE professionals are certified in Routing and Switching and the second choice is being the CCIE Security with mere 2337 Security professional. That’s a reason why I always hear there is a lack of CCIE Security Professionals. So CCIE Security can be good options for CCIE aspirers.

One Interesting fact is the total number of CCIE Voice Professionals they are growing wow. Quite a sharp growth in a short span of time.

As I posted before about the Cisco Saudi - Expo 2009 which was held at King Fahd Cultural Center, Riyadh ,Saudi Arabia on 9 & 10^th February 2009. The conference was opened by Dr Mohammed Al-Suwaiyel, President of King Abdullah College of Science and Technology, and a keynote from Dr Badr Al Badr, managing director of Cisco Saudi Arabia.
