Larry Boucher Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alacritech, has enjoyed a long and distinguished career in Silicon Valley as a recognized leader in the areas of server, storage and networking technologies. Mr. Boucher foresaw the convergence of networking and storage and the large amount of processing power and bandwidth consumed
when moving data across the network. To solve this problem, Larry pioneered the movement of storage capabilities into silicon. He’s now applied the vision of accelerated storage/NAS solutions and the 54 patents he’s developed into pioneering the next generation of enterprise storage which will allow companies to accelerate their existing storage/NAS infrastructure resulting in a dramatic increase in application performance, increased infrastructure stability and drastically reduced cost.
Prior to Alacritech, Mr. Boucher was Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Auspex Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of network file servers, where he revolutionized the networked file system design that is the basis of today’s network attached storage (NAS) model.
Prior to Auspex, he was Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Adaptec, Inc. and director of design services at Shugart Associates, where he conceived the idea of the SCSI interface and authored its initial specifications.
Mr. Boucher received his Master’s in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and his MBA from San Jose State University.
