OCZ Technology is a manufacturer of random access memory and Flash Memory based in Sunnyvale, California. Since entering the memory market in 2000, OCZ has targeted its products primarily at the computer hardware enthusiast market. In addition to its memory business, OCZ sells power supply units, computer cooling products, and other products under its brand.

OCZ is best known for their RAM memory lineup and their power supplies. They also ship some flash memory sticks and some cooling products.

A few years ago OCZ had a GeForce 3-series graphics card lineup but they backed out off this market in 2001. However, in early 2007 they introduced the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 based graphics cards.

OCZ has satellite offices located in Netherlands, Canada, Brazil as well as R&D facilities in Taipei, Taiwan ROC.

OCZ Technology made major news when they went public in June of 2006 on London Stock Exchange AIM Market, shunning the traditional NASDAQ IPO popular among Silicon Valley companies.
