I think this new certification is a move in that direction. They really, really want to get people certified in their other products and out recommending them. This new certification does appear to be similar to the CCIE.
It looks like it would be cool to have, but you might have to spend a lot of time and money getting skilled on peripheral products that don't really sell...
