Hortonworks has opened its new premises in Cork, Ireland, where it will be creating 50 local jobs.
The announcement is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation through IDA Ireland.
Hortonworks’ Cork office will provide space for an expanded global technical support team for the more than 750 customers as well as space for other operational professionals. Hortonworks’ presence in the region has already seen Trustev, the Cork-based technology company for the financial and e-commerce sectors, opting to enhance its analytics proposition based on the Hortonworks Data Platform.
Founded in 2012, the company became the first of Hadoop distributor in late 2014 to file for IPO. In 2015, Hortonworks developed an extensive network of partners and customers to fuel the international adoption of Hadoop and deliver best-in-class technical support. Bluemetrix, a Cork-based big data specialist delivering web analytics and data consultancy, recently became the first Hortonworks silver certified partner in Ireland.
“Our presence in Ireland is yet another step towards making Enterprise Hadoop as widely available as possible,” said Andy Leaver, vice president of international operations, Hortonworks. “Hortonworks will also be working towards the recruitment of up to 50 new employees for our new Cork facilities to continue to meet the significant uptake in Hadoop across Ireland and the rest of Europe.”
