Pembrokeshire welcomes HPC Wales hub
The announcement that the HPC Wales high performance computer project will have one of its two strategic hubs based on the Pembrokeshire Science and Technology Park has been welcomed in the county.
Councillor John Allen-Mirehouse, Deputy Leader of Pembrokeshire County Council and Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development said: “To be playing a major part in this £40 million project to bring the latest computing technologies to Wales is exciting.
“For a number of years the County Council has been developing a good working relationship with Swansea University. This has encouraged the University to locate their part of this project on the Pembrokeshire Science and Technology Park.
“This will involve creating a very high bandwidth link to the Science Park and basing a significant amount of hardware in Pembroke Dock.
“HPC Wales is a world class project that will help Welsh Universities to conduct leading edge research but more importantly it will also provide high powered computing capacity for Welsh businesses.
“In years to come, having a large amount of the equipment in Pembrokeshire will also provide both jobs and training in the area. It is now up to the businesses and people of Pembrokeshire to take advantage of this opportunity to put us firmly on the high technology map.”
