Mainframe Programmer future choices

Hi,
I am a mainframe specialist with 6 years of experience. I want to become a technical architect and did SOA fundamentals certification with no avail. I am interested in getting into SOA,Cloud computing, Big data like fast changing areas in the long run. Being in mainframes doesn't give me many choices to interact wth other technologies and learn them.

Even if I do a certification I will not be considered in any interview based on my interest but only on my prior experience. I am lost in this.

Anyone who went in this path or know someone who did please advise me on the road map for getting into architect position.
