VMware has filed a lawsuit against one of its former top executives that said he had violated his contractual obligations while being wooed by a rival. On Dec. 9, Nutanix announced it had hired VMware COO Rajiv Ramaswami as its new CEO and president. On Dec. 14, he joined Nutanix’s board of directors.
Last week, VMware filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara that accused Ramaswami of “material and ongoing breaches of his legal and contractual duties and obligations to VMware.”
