Building on its long term commitment to the country, new jobs
will be in the fields of R&D, cyber security, software
development and cloud consulting
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced its plans
to recruit 150 experienced technologists in Ireland over the next
two years. The company has also named Galway as its European hub
for cyber security operations and is establishing a new Hybrid
Cloud Practice to help Irish customers accelerate their digital
transformation. This strategic investment underscores HPE’s
long-term commitment to Ireland and will enable the company to grow
its operations and employee base in the country, increase its
R&D, product development and global cyber security services, as
well as continuing to make positive contributions to local
communities.
“This year HPE will celebrate a fifty year legacy of operations
in Ireland, so I am delighted to be building on our strong history
of investing in Ireland with today’s announcement of new jobs and
operations in the country,” said Antonio Neri, President and CEO
of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “Ireland has an incredible
technology-focused economy and a highly skilled workforce, and our
investment in the country will further develop the country as a
critical market for HPE’s global business, as well as benefitting
our customers, partners, team members and the citizens of
Ireland.”
Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment
Leo Varadkar TD said: “I’m really pleased to see that Hewlett
Packard Enterprise is expanding its operations in Ireland by
creating 150 highly skilled jobs over the next two years. It’s also
great news that the company has chosen Galway for its European hub
for cyber security operations.
“Hewlett Packard Enterprise has been long-established in Ireland
and is a significant source of employment in both Galway and
Kildare. This announcement demonstrates the company’s continued
commitment to our country and shows that we have the right
infrastructure and ecosystem to enable leading technology companies
to grow and thrive. I wish the Hewlett Packard Enterprise team all
the best with their expansion plans.”
Developing Ireland as a global center of excellence
To support Ireland’s continued growth as a strategic market for
HPE’s global business, HPE plans to increase its workforce in
Ireland with 150 new roles over the next two years. In particular,
HPE will hire experienced talent with expertise in areas of
critical importance to customers such as cyber security, software
development, global R&D and cloud consulting. The jobs will be
based at HPE’s sites in Galway and Kildare, but thanks to HPE’s
Edge-to-Office initiative the majority of work can be carried out
from flexible locations, thus opening up these roles to applicants
from anywhere in the country.
HPE has also taken the decision to locate global centers of
excellence focused on cyber security and software development in
Ireland. HPE has been building its cyber security footprint in
Galway over the past five years and Ireland has been made the
European hub for cyber security operations. Galway is the home of
HPE’s Cyber Defense Center which protects HPE and its customers
from global cyber threats utilizing the latest Machine Learning and
AI technologies. The Galway site already has the largest footprint
of cyber professionals within HPE globally and is set to expand
with new roles for data scientists and incident response
practitioners.
Ireland is an R&D hub for the HPE GreenLake cloud services
business with the latest developments to HPE’s hybrid cloud
platform being architected by Irish engineers and software
developers. Ireland is also the EMEA hub for HPE Financial Services
(HPEFS), HPE’s fully licensed international bank. HPEFS funds
digital transformation across the world and is at the heart of
HPE’s leading circular economy program. Aruba, a Hewlett Packard
Enterprise company, also hosts a global operations team in Cork.
These global HPE businesses are hiring now.
Benefits for customers and citizens
As well as making global investments in Ireland, HPE is also
investing to ensure that Irish customers and partners can access
the latest enterprise technologies and services. HPE is
establishing a new Hybrid Cloud Practice in the country to help
businesses accelerate their digital transformation and bring the
cloud experience to apps and data everywhere with hybrid cloud
solutions.
“With these strategic investments in Ireland we will enhance our
ability to support HPE’s customers globally and in Ireland with the
latest cyber security and cloud technologies bringing resilience
and agility to their operations,” said Maeve Culloty, MD, HPE
Ireland. “I am excited to foster our culture for growth and
innovation at HPE Ireland and I look forward to welcoming exciting
new talent to our organization.”
HPE is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.
Welcoming the investment, CEO of IDA Ireland Martin Shanahan
said: “The addition of 150 highly skilled roles by HPE is testament
to the company’s ongoing commitment to Ireland. Today’s
announcement that Galway has been chosen as HPE’s European hub for
cyber security operations is an important endorsement of Ireland’s
advanced technology ecosystem. This is a strategically important
investment by HPE for Ireland and reflects the importance that the
Galway and Leixlip sites play in the company’s global
business.”
HPE has a legacy of fifty years in Ireland, going back through
multiple former entities, and the company continues to build on
this legacy by supporting Irish government initiatives to apply
technology to drive community benefits in critical areas:
- Higher Education – In order to address a national cyber
security skills shortage, HPE has collaborated with Galway-Mayo
Institute of Technology to create a world-class industry-focused
curriculum for students.
- Working in the community – Since 2015, HPE has been a
flagship partner of the Government sponsored Skillsnet and Job
Bridge programs to provide candidates with valuable workplace
experience. HPE has supported hundreds of candidates to secure paid
employment following their work placement, including many with
HPE.
- National cyber resilience – HPE is actively engaged with
the Irish National Cyber Security Center and the Health Service
Executive to offer assistance and support in the event of a
significant cyber incident which threatens Irish institutions, in
particular the ability of healthcare providers to deliver critical
services.
- Academic research – HPE has invested in the Irish Centre
for High-End Computing (ICHEC) at the National University of
Ireland, Galway (NUIG). The center is dedicated to solving complex
problems through further research into extreme climate events and
was selected by HPE for its expertise in extreme scale software
research.
