"(...) Hewlett Packard Enterprise is to shutter its 3PAR engineering office in Belfast. (...) The office had about 100 people at the start of the year with the numbers dropping over the past few months. This amounts to 20-25 per cent of the overall global 3PAR engineering team and numbers are on the decline across the board(...)"

It's over, such crushed spirits
yeah but 3PAR makes money. That's important right?
The answer will be with the engineers who were s---er punched to "skills enhance/cross train" a team in India, Eastern Europe, Philippines or wherever pay is earned at a few hundred bucks a month who will now take on their workload… OR
3PAR is dead, and as those crazy brits say: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one.. and Nimble is the anointed one so the answer is .. no one. This is a pretty good bet as HPE spokespeople have been vociferously denying that’s the case.. and
that's what I call a dead parrot.
so, who does the work that Belfast is doing now on Nov. 1st?
It's in the article: "… the bulk of the 3PAR IO stack and replication development teams, future platform support, advanced development, support engineering and QA"
"what do Belfast do for 3PAR?" Ad of November 1, NOTHING.
what do Belfast do for 3PAR? S
They should start in Fremont... with a boy-named-Sue
