US data storage company Qumulo has said it will create 50 new jobs in Ireland over the next three years after opening its new European research and development centre in Cork. <\/p>\n
The company, which was founded in Seattle, Washington, in 2012, said it selected the location based on its proximity to colleges and universities and the deep talent pool they foster in the southwest region. <\/p>\n
\u201cAdditionally, the excellent support infrastructure for companies like Qumulo provided by IDA Ireland<\/a> made Cork the obvious choice for us to build a team focused on leveraging AI (artificial intelligence) to help businesses manage global-scale data infrastructure,\u201d said Qumulo chief technology officer Kiran Bhageshpur in a statement on Friday. <\/p>\n Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke said Qumulo\u2019s decision to base its European software research hub in Cork was a \u201cstrong endorsement\u201d of the city as a location for global businesses. <\/p>\n \u201cIt highlights the depth of talent emerging from our universities, the strength of the region\u2019s technology ecosystem, and Ireland\u2019s ability to support companies delivering pioneering innovation on a global scale,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n [\u00a0Version 1 to create 250 jobs as it opens new headquartersOpens in new window<\/a>\u00a0]<\/p>\n Local Fine Gael TD and junior minister Jerry Buttimer said the announcement \u201chighlights Ireland\u2019s reputation as a dynamic environment where innovation thrives and partnerships flourish\u201d.<\/p>\n Qumulo said it will create 50 jobs at the hub over the next three years in areas including engineering and customer success. <\/p>\n In a statement, the company said the team at the new R&D centre \u201cwill research and develop solutions to enable the secure, frictionless, and instantaneous transfer of exabyte-scale workloads across the globe, delivering the trusted, AI-ready data requirement to power next-generation enterprise applications\u201d. <\/p>\n \u201cIreland offers a compelling combination of talent, research excellence, and an open, collaborative business environment, and Qumulo\u2019s expansion in Cork is another example of how that proposition continues to resonate with global technology companies,\u201d said IDA Ireland chief executive Michael Lohan<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US data storage company Qumulo has said it will create 50 new jobs in Ireland over the next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367970,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[15000,61,60,158956,105579,43,12361],"class_list":{"0":"post-367969","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ireland","8":"tag-ida-ireland","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-jerry-buttimer","12":"tag-michael-lohan","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-peter-burke"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
