Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced a significant investment to establish new Global Center of Excellence (CoE) for HPE Ezmeral Software in Athens, Greece. This new global CoE will be integrated into the HPE Ezmeral Software business and enhances its global support capabilities for enterprise customers. The team of open source and data engineers and developers will help organizations around the world apply artificial intelligence (AI), data and advanced analytics in a range of industries including financial services, government, medical research, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications, and autonomous transportation.
Greece is a burgeoning global hub of innovation with a dynamic ecosystem of technology companies and is encouraging investment in the technology sector. The country has developed a highly skilled talent pool ready to meet the global demand for AI solutions. HPE recently opened more than 30 new positions for software engineers and developers who have extensive skills and experience in open-source tools, including the MLOps platform, Kubeflow, to bolster this new CoE and has already successfully filled most roles.

“Enterprises across the globe are launching analytics and AI/ML initiatives, but most lack the in-house IT and data science talent to deliver at scale,” said Mohan Rajagopalan, vice president and general manager, HPE Ezmeral Software. “With this new CoE, HPE is strengthening our commitment and investment in the open-source tools and data science talent necessary for customers to operationalize analytics and AI across their enterprise. The new team brings together the most talented group of developers from the Kubeflow community with deep containers and data skillsets — naturally complementing our Unified Analytics and Data Fabric offerings.”
The new HPE Ezmeral Software CoE in Greece complements existing capabilities in other HPE global centers in open-source data science, analytics and engineering tools including Apache Airflow, Apache Spark, Apache Superset, Feast, MLFlow, Presto SQL and Ray.
