Arkphire started life as **Memorex Telex**, part of the Memorex Corporation (which some have suggested was the original tech silicon valley start-up computer company) manufacturing CDs and other technology peripherals.

In the 80s Memorex acquired **Specialist Machine Services Ltd**, the country’s leading IBM computer maintenance company and built Ireland’s first fully operational, high security computer centre to serve as a back-up system for disaster mitigation, such as flood or fire.

![Arkphire-Logo-Small](https://www.arkphire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Arkphire-Logo-Small.png?width=250&name=Arkphire-Logo-Small.png)Following a takeover in 1998, Memorex rebrands as **EDS Global Services**, which was acquired by the German owned IT provider AO Group in 2006.

In 2009, the company returns to Irish ownership, following a management buyout led by Pascal Naylor and Howard Roberts.

In 2011, the company rebrands as **Arkphire**, with a new logo inspired by the Archimedean Spiral, symbolising our ethos of continuous evolution.
