I have learnt cisco plans to release Virtual image of IronPort WSA somewhere around March 2013 (just like .ova templates we have available for vWLC & vMSE).
IPS can also be run on 7.0 code (have some minor bugs though) & 15.2M series code can be run on emulators i.e gns3/dynamips. ASA8.4(2) too is perfectly testable on gns3. So, I would say you guys still have plenty of virtual gear to play with on a good i7 with 8GB/16GB ram & for missing pieces, use physical gear or rack rentals.

As far as I know IronPort cannot be run on VMWARE...BUUUUUT, it's built on top of a FreeBSD operational system so, maybe if we change something on the code it can be virtualized... 2013/1/2 Moustafa Houssami <[email protected]> Dears, Regarding ISE, ACS and WLC we can run them on virtual machines. Does anyone know if the ironport WSA runs on VMWARE also? Please advise.

The problem I see in the delay is that v4 rack is not cheap to make. We calculated the cost for a complete rack and it turns out to be near 30,000 $ . Unlike v3 where a lot activity wa possible on gns3 and pemu. From hardware wise it wasn't that expensive as well. But now the vendors have to prepare multiple new racks at a high cost. I haven't seen any training vendor to e out with their new training material even though the blue print was announced more than six months. Best of luck guys.

I am personally practicing all v3 questions till I see the new v4 IPX or INE labs. This is just to stay in touch with what I have learned since it is so easy to forget about it.
