ArcGIS for Server allows users to create, distribute, and manage geographic information system (GIS) services. These services can be optimized for and integrated with web, mobile, and desktop applications. ArcGIS for Server enables users to publish maps and geospatial data as services, centrally manage these services, and distribute them throughout an organization and on the web. It supports a variety of applications including web mapping, mobile mapping, desktop mapping, and integration with other systems like SharePoint.

6. Deploy on Multiple Platforms
ArcGIS for Server is a flexible GIS server solution that
works on all modern computing platforms. It can be
deployed on a single machine to support workgroups,
or it can be distributed across multiple servers and
integrated with other enterprise applications. ArcGIS
for Server also runs on cloud infrastructure.
In the Cloud
ArcGIS for Server in the cloud allows organizations to
take advantage of virtually unlimited computing power
for performing massively intense analysis and processing,
supporting high-volume mapping applications, and
developing new applications without impacting local
infrastructure.
Throughout the Enterprise
When ArcGIS for Server is integrated with other
enterprise applications and services, it forms a
common operating picture that spatially enables
manager dashboards, as well as business analysis,
asset management, and customer relationship
management systems.
On a Single Machine
ArcGIS for Server on a single machine supports groups
of professionals working on focused projects. It can also
become the GIS data portal for the organization, manage
and deliver large stores of imagery, or act as a portable
GIS server for emergency management situations.
