Greener pastures were not
VMware's executive vice
president of research and development, Richard Sarwal has quit and gone back to
Oracle just nine months after leaving the accounting outfit.
Sarwal left
Oracle in December to join VMware in he hope of pulling more research rabbits
from the hat to compete against a much more aggressive Microsoft. While it is
not clear why Sarwal left, VMware does not appear to be in any hurry to replace
him. Instead it has announced "organisational changes" will do the same
job.
Sarwal also appears to have left in somewhat of a hurry not waiting for
those organisational changes first. His job has been taken over by Stephen
Herrod, its chief technology officer and senior vice president of research and
design.
