Top CCIEs
October 16, 2008Ever wondered who the kings of the CCIE Mountain in Cisco Land are?
To achieve 3 CCIE’s is a remarkable achievement. Although there are a handful of Quadruple CCIE , I would like to mention the following four. Let me know if you would add another and the reason.
Quadruple CCIE’s:
| 4713 | Scott Morris | R&S, ISP-Dial, Security, SP |
| 8763 | Marius Holmsen | R&S, Security, SP, Storage |
| 16379 | Petr Lapukhov | R&S, Security, SP, Voice |
| 12353 | Khawar Butt |
Security, R&S, Voice, SP |
- Scott Morris – is very well known, not only for his training abilities, but also for his uber lab and his extraordinary resume. He recently joined the power house of CCIE training, Internetwork Expert. In addition to being a QUAD CCIE, Scott also holds CISSP, JNCIE, and since December 2009, a CCDE. The only thing left for Scott is the Cisco Architect.
- Marius Holmsen – distinguished himself by being the first person to acquire three CCIE certifications in one year.
- Petr Lapukhov – one of the few to acquire 4 CCIE certifications in less than 2 years, at intervals of 5/6 months. Petr from Siberia is my new hero. Sorry Batman. Truly amazing.

Quintuple CCIE’s:
| 2210 | Brian Dennis | R&S, ISP Dial, Security, SP, Voice |
| 3263 | Tom Glennon | R&S, ISP Dial, WAN, SP, Security |
| 4460 | Dmitry Bokotey | R&S, ISP-Dial, Security, SP, Storage |

- Brian Dennis – is definitely one of the top CCIE’s in my humble opinion. Besides having acquired 5 CCIE certifications, he has been a CCIE for more than 10 years. Brian is very well known for his brilliant ability to explain the most complicated technologies. When Brian talks, its just pure knowledge and experience!
- Tom Glennon – was the second person to acquire 5 CCIE certifications.

- Michael Purcell was the first person to acquire 6 CCIE certifications on the older tracks. Currently the only sextupple 10-year ccie.
- Roman Rodichev passed his 6th CCIE on the 28 July 2009 making him only the second person to have 6. HUGE archievement, for someone that not even 30 yet.
- Noritaka Tamehisa prefers doing a new CCIE track to recertify, since the drake is just to easy!
- Matthew White is the 4th person to showcase 6 CCIE certifications. He passed his last lab wireless on the 27th January 2010. He did 6 CCIE’s in less than 5 years.

I would also like to mention the following CCIE’s :
| 1025 | Stuart Biggs | Routing and Switching |
| 1026 | Terrance Slattery | Routing and Switching |
| 1337 | Jerzy Sliwinski | Routing and Switching |
| 12410 | Narbik Kocharians | R&S, Security, and SP |
- Stuart Biggs – The creator of what most strive to obtain, deserves the necessary credit due to him.
- Terence Slattery – The Alpha CCIE.
- Jerzy Sliwinski – Has the coolest CCIE number.
- Narbik Kocharians - passed his security CCIE 21 days after passing his R&S CCIE. No matter how you look at that, that is impressive!
Also – Roman is the first in the world to hold all 6 ACTIVE CCIE’s!!!
That is very true.
It does set Roman apart
Khawar Butt is also a Quad CCIE From Netmetric
