Hula Networks, a Silicon Valley-based value-added reseller (VAR) that’s been making waves in the network hardware world for over 22 years. This powerhouse supports data centers globally, shipping to over 130 countries, with a significant presence in Latin America (LATAM). They specialize in core routing and switching solutions with industry giants like Arista, Cisco, Juniper, and Nokia.
Recent Success in Chile
In one of their latest triumphs, Hula Networks collaborated with a top-tier Chilean data center in Santiago. This data center, a hub for data processing, hosting, and colocation activities, also serves as an Internet Service Provider (ISP), focusing on low-risk web traffic management.
The Juniper QFX5100 Series Solution
Hula Networks worked closely with the data center’s engineering team to implement the Juniper QFX5100 series switches. These switches are known for their high performance and flexibility, perfect for optimizing and streamlining network operations. Often deployed as Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches, they connect directly to servers within each rack, minimizing cabling complexity and boosting overall network efficiency.
Cutting-Edge Network Design
The QFX5100 series plays a crucial role in leaf-and-spine network designs, functioning as leaf switches that connect to spine switches. This setup creates a non-blocking, low-latency network fabric, essential for handling significant east-west traffic in modern data centers. They also support advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, including VXLAN overlay networks, making them ideal for scalable, multi-tenant environments.
Automation and Logistics
Hula Networks didn’t just stop at providing the hardware. They handled 100% of the logistics from door to door for their Chilean client. With vetted and compliant carriers, Hula offers a range of transportation services, including:
Door-to-Door Service: From pick-up, custom packaging, and shipping with full-value insurance, to handling Value Added Tax (VAT) and providing complete international shipping labels.

Flexible Shipping Solutions: Including same-day air, next flight guaranteed, hot shot/team drivers, next day, 2nd day, expedited ground, and international airfreight.
