Murphy, 51, replaces David Hubbard as CEO of Reldata.
He was appointed CEO of Plasmon Data in November 2007 to save the company, but finally killed it as the firm went into administration and disappeared last January.
But Murphy has a good chance to rebound at Reldata with a technology (unified SAN and NAS) more promising than UDO.
