Description
Kit Colbert is an American technologist who was CTO of VMWare from 2021-2023. In this oral history, he describes his early years growing up in Oklahoma, college at Brown University -- where he majored in computer science – to his first (and only) job, at VMWare, initially as an intern. This interview describes, from a high-level perspective, VMWare’s history, products, and people as it grew from a research project at Stanford University to a multi-billion dollar company. It also traces the evolution of VMWare’s increasing presence in information technology in three phases, from compute virtualization to storage, network and application virtualization to cloud-based solutions that incorporate its vision of the virtual data center.
