Robert,

Thank you.  Perhaps ChatGPT can help me post in Spanish, it could not help me 
locate the suppliers :).

Suppliers of Optics, Cables, and Parts and Support in Argentina

[nanoguser99 via NANOG]

Nanog,

Our organization is US based.

South America is a difficult region to procure parts in but Argentina is 
particularly difficult.  Our current process is to ship spare gear to Argentina 
but we get hit very hard with import duties. I'm looking for a local supplier 
of Optics, Cables, and Parts (drives, RAM, etc.) locally in Argentina.

As a second initiative we are exploring putting a few systems under a support 
contract so we don't deal with the headache that comes with navigating 
importing gear there.  We would be putting a few generic supermicro servers 
(CPU, RAM, Motherboard, disk) and some network equipment (Cisco\Juniper) under 
support.

Any help from anyone who has navigated this would be appreciated.
