Server Virtualization means virtualizing physical servers in your data center, which is usually being done by type 1 hypervisors like vmware vsphere, KVM or Xen based virtualization techniques. It is used majorly to better utilize hardware resources, reduce physical space required, reduce power & cooling costs, most importantly to maintain availability of services even if there is any resource failure.
Desktop Virtualization on the other hand is to virtualize the desktops of end users in the data centers. Actually there are few various ways & use cases. When you virtualize the desktops in a data centers, you call it VDI technology. There are many companies with their employees work on thin client like devices those are virtualized using VDI technology (like Eg. Citrix Xen Desktops). But now people wants to work across various devices (like Desktops, laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc), so VDI has improved multi fold over the years.
Another way to virtualize desktops is via products like Virtualbox, Vagrant or vmware Horizon) where many developers are taking advantage of working on multiple types of environments, OS platforms.
So, in a nutshell, when you are thinking about optimizing servers in your dc, you talk about server virtualization. & when you are thinking about optimizing the way employees work on various devices, you talk about VDI technology.

Team my answer, is a virtual server works like a traditional server, however, you can create the servers you need in minutes, whether in a physical environment, on a local network and in the cloud.
In virtual servers, users can have information and work with their physical PC.
A virtual desktop is a technology also derived from server virtualization, therefore it can be on virtual servers or in the cloud.
Virtual desktops, the user works in a separate session from a virtual server.
In this, you have saved your own profile and all your programs, files and applications that you need.
To access this virtual desktop, you just need to have on hand a device such as: PC, laptop.
If its A : virtualization of Server & Desktop , means you are creating desktop or server OS VM on a Virtualization platform like KVM,VMWare..and access via Network the OS.
If its B : Virtualization on Server & Desktop, you are using Server Grade Hardware to run 24/7 for Virtualization from SME to Powerful capacity of Virtualization like ProxmoxVE,KVM,VmWare..etc OR you are using daily use PC/Computer or Laptop to use Virtualization feature example for development/demo or SME Setup.

Hello Dear, Basicly it's the same thing. Because a server is computer. It's in terms of capabilities and performances that the differences are. Because a server is a computer with bigger configuration. Also another aspect is the amulation of devices: network card, processors.... Which is done and you can choose to compose you machine as you want and use it as server or simple PC
Server Virtualization Software enables a single physical server to run multiple virtual machines, optimizing resource use and maintenance. This approach offers greater flexibility and efficient workload management.Businesses leverage Server Virtualization Software to enhance agility and manage IT resources effectively. By partitioning physical servers into multiple virtual environments, organizations can consolidate workloads, reduce hardware costs, and streamline IT operations. Users often...

Two way to think..
A> Virtualization of Server & Desktop or
B> Virtualization on Server & Desktop.
If its A : virtualization of Server & Desktop , means you are creating desktop or server OS VM on a Virtualization platform like KVM,VMWare..and access via Network the OS.
If its B : Virtualization on Server & Desktop, you are using Server Grade Hardware to run 24/7 for Virtualization from SME to Powerful capacity of Virtualization like ProxmoxVE,KVM,VmWare..etc OR you are using daily use PC/Computer or Laptop to use Virtualization feature example for development/demo or SME Setup.
