A server platform is the foundational hardware and software environment designed to host, manage, and deliver computing resources and services. It includes the physical server hardware (such as CPUs, memory, storage, and networking components) as well as the firmware, operating systems, and management tools that enable efficient, secure, and scalable operation.

Server platforms are built to support critical workloads in enterprise IT environments, including applications, databases, virtualization, cloud services, and high-performance computing. They are optimized for performance, reliability, security, and manageability, forming the backbone of modern data centers and cloud infrastructures.
