Pure Storage Opens EMEA Support Centre

In Dublin, Ireland, with 18 employees

Pure Storage, Inc. opened a support centre in Dublin, Ireland to provide greater support for customers in the EMEA region.

The facility is Pure Storage’s first major support centre outside of the US, and will provide technical expertise to the region as well as hosting 13 different languages among its staff base, who are all employed by Pure. The team, consisting of 18 employees is targeted to grow by 100% by the end of 2016. The investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (DJEI) through IDA Ireland.

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said: “I am delighted to welcome this announcement by Pure Storage. Technology is a key sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and it has made a major contribution to the jobs growth we have seen in recent years. Today’s announcement that Pure Storage is establishing a new facility in Dublin and expanding its employment is further good news in this area“.

Colin Mead, Pure Storage’s head of worldwide support, said: “The opening of the support centre is an important step in our global expansion. It ensures that Pure will continue to provide the best support experience possible for our customers and partners in the region across multiple languages, and will complement the work of our international teams in building our presence in the area. We have hired ahead of the curve to ensure we can support the current anticipated sales growth and overflow from other regions.

James Petter, VP EMEA, Pure Storage said: “We see the opening of this facility as an opportunity to invest in Dublin. We have purposely hired, and are continuing to hire, local talent to help the local economy and to reinforce Ireland’s position as a European tech hub. The centre has also provided us with the opportunity to extend the reach of our Pure Good Foundation, our philanthropic, volunteer-based initiative to give back to the areas in which we operate.

Martin Shanahan, CEO, IDA Ireland said: “Pure Storage’s presence will strengthen the existing base of cloud and enterprise storage companies in Ireland and complements IDA’s strategy of winning big data investments. Technology companies, like Pure Storage, continue to find Ireland to be an ideal place to locate operations which can service the EMEA markets. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Pure Storage every success with their endeavours, and offer the continued support of IDA Ireland.
