Servers OS are designed for the simultaneous operation of many users and (or) services, and therefore special requirements are imposed on them. Such platforms make it possible to manage the infrastructure, perform hardware virtualization, deploy various services in the cloud infrastructure, etc. Therefore, reliability, high security, and scalability are required.
