Storage Management Strategies for the CIO
Cereva Networks Inc. has confirmed that Chief Executive Officer and President Alan Lutz has resigned. The decision was made by Lutz for personal reasons, a company spokesperson said.

Cereva has appointed a member of its board of directors, Mahesh N. Ganmukhi, as the company's new CEO. Ganmukhi most recently served as a vice president and general manager for Lucent Technologies Inc.
According to Bruce MacDonald, director of corporate communications for Cereva, Ganmukhi was appointed to the position on May 18, the same day as Lutz' departure.
Ganmukhi is Lutz' permanent replacement.
