Larry Boucher, currently the founder and chief executive officer of Alacritech, invented the SCSI interface -- the industry standard for connecting storage and other peripherals to PCs and servers. Larry is a server adapter, storage and networking luminary with technical and business accomplishments that include establishing and building three successful start-up companies. In 1997, he founded next-generation networking technology start-up Alacritech, Inc. to solve the server bottleneck issue. His engineering team developed session layer interface card (SLIC®) technology, the first scalable and fully compatible technology to offload TCP/IP protocol processing from the host CPU. In 1987, Larry founded Auspex Systems, Inc., an enterprise server manufacturer, where he pioneered a networked file system design that dramatically improved the performance of Unix- and NT-based enterprise servers. In 1981, he founded Adaptec, Inc., a global leader in innovative storage solutions, where he served as its first CEO for six years. Larry received his master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and his master's degree in Business Administration from San Jose State University. |
