Description
This is the story of Larry Boucher, who grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and was the founder of three Silicon Valley leading-edge high tech companies: Adaptec, Auspex and Alacritech. Along the way he worked at IBM on storage subsystems and then at Shugart Associates, where he developed SCSI (pronounced “scuzzy”), which became an industry standard, data storage interface and protocol. Commercializing SCSI was the basis for founding Adaptec, creating one of the first Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems was the basis for founding Auspex and accelerating the ubiquitous TCP/IP protocol in Ethernet was the basis for founding Alacritech. All three were breakthroughs in network and data storage technology that resulted in industry standards and major new product categories.
