Following on from the previous post about building your own rack, which we found to be expensive, the second option is to rent a rack from one of the many vendors online. The third option is to build a hybrid of emulated routers and real switches, which you can read about here.
Assuming this was the route we were going to take, it's then a question of who to pick, so lets have a look at some of the vendors out there. I did a search for "CCIE rack rental" and will compare the top four. All four offer blocks of four hours.
