About adding a GIS server to a site

TipTip:

An ArcGIS Server site is composed of one or more GIS server machines that have the GIS Server component installed. Web service requests for maps, address coordinates, geoprocessing jobs, and so on, are each assigned to an available machine within the site. That machine then does the work of drawing the map, finding the address coordinate, running the geoprocessing tool, and so on, and returns the result to the client. Essentially, GIS server machines are the work centers of your site.

If you need to expand your site, you can add additional machines to your site using ArcGIS Server Manager or ArcGIS for Desktop.
