What is the ArcGIS Server and Who Uses it?

The ArcGIS server is an ESRI-developed distributed system which helps users put geographical information on web apps for the purpose of expanding the usefulness of maps and bolstering other knowledge bases. ArcGIS also allows you to upload GIS resources like maps and other tools that you might want to share with business associates, clients, or leads. To share these resources, you must first host them on the ArcGIS server and then send a special key to the relevant third party (either for one-time use or so they can integrate it into their app). All data is fully centralized and updates in real time as soon as all the information becomes available.
