| Alacritech, Inc. is the world’s leading supplier of standards-based
scalable networking technology and solutions that enable the highest performance and efficiency
in networked systems. The company was founded in 1997 by computer industry visionary Larry
Boucher who is well-respected for his ground breaking innovations in the areas of server adapter,
storage, and scalable networking technologies. Mr. Boucher is considered one of Silicon Valley’s
most successful ‘serial’ entrepreneurs having also founded Auspex Systems, Inc. and Adaptec, Inc.
A technical pioneer, Mr. Boucher is credited with creating the Small Computer Systems Interface
(SCSI) protocol in 1979 which is now the industry standard for connecting storage and other
peripherals to PCs and servers. He also pioneered the networked file system design that is the basis
of today’s network-attached storage (NAS) model.
Mr. Boucher founded Alacritech to develop and patent SLIC Technology®, a scalable Dynamic
TCP Offload™ architecture that eliminates network processing bottlenecks and closes the I/O
processing gap. Even as network speeds increase, SLIC Technology scales to address the performance
and interconnect requirements of future networking and I/O initiatives. Alacritech’s complete line of
Accelerators, based on this architecture, optimize data delivery in servers, network-attached storage
and iSCSI storage devices. As the innovator of Dynamic TCP offload technologies, Alacritech now
holds 19 patents relating to scalable networking. For more information about Alacritech and its products
