Hewlett Packard Enterprise to add 150 jobs at global centre of excellence in Galway
Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced more than 150 new technical roles at its global centre of excellence for the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform in Galway. This project is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.
The new roles are in addition to 150 jobs announced in 2021 in a range of areas including cloud native development, DevSecOps, AI research, and cyber security, as well as product and program management.
HPE GreenLake supports 27,000 customers globally, powers more than 3.4 million connected devices and manages 20 exabytes of data with customers worldwide.
The center of Excellence will recruit across a range of roles, including architects, software engineers, product, engineering and project managers, researchers, user experience engineers, security specialists, test engineers, data analysts and AI professionals. The team will perform a key role within the newly created hybrid cloud business unit, which comes into effect 1 November 2023.
Led by HPE chief technology officer Fidelma Russo, a Cork native who started her career as an engineer in Ireland in the 1980s, the business unit will accelerate HPE’s hybrid cloud strategy to deliver one portfolio of storage, software, data, and cloud services on the HPE GreenLake platform.
“The new centre of excellence in Galway will help Hewlett Packard Enterprise realize its vision and shape the future experience of the HPE GreenLake platform,” said Russo. “Designing technology and creating innovative applications is part of our heritage and at the heart of what we do at HPE. This investment will capitalise on the strong pool of technology expertise and engineering talent within Ireland. I’m excited to bring together a diverse team from those starting out in their careers to highly experienced tech professionals who will play a pivotal role in developing our hybrid cloud business.”
“HPE has helped to drive the growth of the technology eco-system in the West region through its 50-year history in Ireland and its continued partnership with IDA Ireland,” said Michael Lohan, CEO, IDA Ireland. “Today’s investment will support the transformation of the Galway site, diversifying existing operation and adding core competency in edge-to-cloud development. This strategic investment underscores HPE’s long-term commitment to Ireland and will enable the company to grow the employee base in the West region, diversify its R&D presence, and continue to make positive contributions to the Irish economy.”
Ireland already serves as the EMEA hub for research and development in digital services and HPE GreenLake cloud services & solutions, and cyber security in Galway, as well as HPE Financial Services (HPEFS) in Leixlip, and HPE Aruba Networking operations in Cork.
