The key features of ArcGIS Server are

Spatial Data Management-ArcGIS Server includes both workgroup- and enterprise-level geodata management based on the ArcGIS geodatabase model.

Spatial data management is available with ArcGIS Server Basic, Standard, and Advanced.

Visualization (Mapping)-ArcGIS Server offers Web mapping services that support 2D dynamic and cached maps as well as 3D globes. GIS analysts can configure rich browser-based Web mapping applications that consume these services with point-and-click ease. In addition, ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Explorer can be used as clients to ArcGIS Server to view 2D maps and 3D globes. Visualization is available with ArcGIS Server Standard and Advanced.

Spatial Analysis-ArcGIS Server offers server-based analysis and geoprocessing. This includes vector, raster, 3D, and network analytics; models, scripts, and tools; desktop authoring; and synchronous processing. Spatial analysis is available with ArcGIS Server Advanced.
