Are virtual RMs and AMs in GVSE at risk if commercial RMs and AMs are going virtual? Won’t there be a redundancy in those roles?

Dude, AWS hurts the entire Cisco ecosystem. Yes people still need (some) physical networking. But the value and growth is all in the cloud. The die is already cast. Lots of people saying this. And it’s true.

They are backfilling less than 50% of AM and SA positions. AMs and SAs having been leaving to other segments, other sales organizations or competitors. Remaining Commercial AMs will become virtual. Commercial SAs are moving to a pool model in FY23.
