Presidio Plans International Expansion with Arkphire Acquisition

Presidio, the North American solution provider giant, is eyeing expansion across Europe and Asia Pacific with its acquisition of Arkphire.

Dublin, Ireland,-based Arkphire provides IT product procurement and services. It serves customers internationally across more than 90 countries.

The combined capabilities from Presidio and Arkphire create a new global IT solutions business. It can serve customers in all major markets.

“We are very excited to formally complete the acquisition and to combine the strengths of both organizations in order to provide the highest levels of service to our customers globally,” said Bob Cagnazzi, Presidio‘s CEO. “In particular, we will be seeking to leverage Arkphire’s experience, expertise and global footprint to provide Presidio with a platform to drive business expansion across both Europe and Asia Pacific.”

Arkphire on Fast Track

Arkphire provides integrated technology solutions that span end-user compute, networking, cybersecurity, cloud and data center. It acquired Trilogy Technologies last year. And since then it has become the largest and fastest-growing IT procurement and IT managed services business in Ireland.

The combined entity creates a full-services life cycle business. It offers global managed services for customers and stronger product and service capabilities.

“We are delighted to formally close this highly significant agreement with Presidio,” said Paschal Naylor, Arkphire’s chief executive. “We now look forward to building a very effective working partnership with the team from Presidio, ensuring we expand our capabilities to deliver an even stronger service offering in response to our respective customers’ needs.”

Last August, Presidio acquired Coda Global. Coda offers a suite of cloud consulting services. It’s focused on cloud migration, cloud-native application development, DevOps, big data enablement, and machine learning with advanced analytics.

By aligning its services and solutions with strategic partners, Presidio offers cloud strategy, architecture and implementation services. It also offers application rationalization and migration across hybrid cloud data centers.
