Yuval Neeman, a 16-year Microsoft veteran who served most recently as Microsoft's corporate VP in charge of storage, is leaving the company, Microsoft officials confirmed this week. Neeman quietly quit the storage division in early December. His last day at Microsoft is February 1, company officials said. So far, Microsoft has not appointed a replacement. Microsoft's storage division has been ramping up over the past couple of years. The division is on tap to launch a new product, Data Protection Server, in the latter half of this year.
