Is VMware commonly used for front-end or back-end development?

VMware is not typically used directly for front-end or back-end development; rather, it’s a virtualization and infrastructure management platform used to support the environments where development and applications are hosted. For that, VMware provides the infrastructure layer on top of which back-end services and applications can be run on virtualized servers, which assure flexibility, optimization of resources, and scalability in both data centers and the cloud.
VMware permits front-end and back-end developers to set up consistent development, testing, and production environments, but does not directly involve the actual coding or framework development in either layer. This is primarily an IT tool for the people managing the infrastructure that supports the front-end and back-end applications, not specifically for the coding itself.
