CCNP Data Center novas provas

Bom pessoal, hoje pela manhã a Cisco informou que as provas do CCPN-DC serão renovadas passando da versão 5.0 para a 6.0, a boa noticia é que ao invés de 6 provas, agora serão 5 provas para conseguir o titulo de CCNP Data Center:

Os exames da versão 5.0 só poderão ser marcados até 3 de julho de 2017, então se você está no meio dos estudos para alguma das provas, é melhor correr.
