Nutanix, VMware end legal fight over CEO Rajiv Ramaswami

Nutanix and VMware have ended a legal fight sparked when the hyperconverged upstart lured Rajiv Ramaswami away from Virtzilla and into its CEO seat. Ramaswami was VMware’s cloud boss when he made the jump, but started talking to Nutanix about a new gig while still on the payroll and without telling Virtzilla. VMware alleged that was a conflict of interest due to the possibility that Ramaswami’s knowledge of the company’s strategies and plans were of obvious benefit to Nutanix.
