Company Overview

Alacritech® provides the simplest, fastest, most proven data offload technology.

Alacritech, Inc., led by industry visionary Larry Boucher, began in 1997 to provide data acceleration solutions that enable the highest performance and efficiency in networked systems. After conceiving the idea of the SCSI interface and writing its initial specifications, Boucher conducted early work that led to the development of SCSI over Ethernet. When he envisioned the technical and cost advantages of using hardware acceleration for data delivery, he founded Alacritech with a handpicked team of engineers.

Alacritech, long regarded as the Gold Standard in TCP Offload Technology, has licensed its Intellectual Property to most of the World’s leading Network Adapter and LOM Suppliers. Refer to Patents and Licensing for Details. Alacritech’s Dynamic TCP OffloadTM Model is the basis for Microsoft’s TCP Chimney Offload, now a standard feature in many Ethernet Adapter and LOM Offerings.

Alacritech is well positioned to be a leading supplier of converged storage and networking solutions that leverage its underlying acceleration technology.
