BlueArc CEO steps aside
Gianluca Rattazzi, BlueArc Corp.'s chairman of the board since the company's inception and CEO since 2002, is handing over the reigns to Mike Gustafson, adding to his role as president. Rattazzi will continue in his responsibilities as BlueArc's executive chairman. The move follows a similar departure by BlueArc's chief technology officer, Geoff Barrell in September, 2004. Industry watchers say BlueArc is undertaking a "resuscitation plan" and is in need of more funding.
