Microsoft’s cloud computing expansion to create 450 jobs

More than 400 construction jobs, plus between 50 and 60 full-time positions, will be created by Microsoft’s €97m expansion of its cloud computing data centre in Dublin.

The investment was announced by Microsoft Corporation’s chief financial officer Peter Klein, who praised the role played by the IDA in facilitating the company’s investment in Ireland.

He said: “We are delighted to build on the long history of Microsoft investment and partnership in Ireland, starting in 1985. As we expand our Dublin data centre, we remain committed to efficiency and sustainability.
