The server container that can be set up on Google Tag Manager can act as a conduit or gatekeeper for traffic to your server. The GTM server container keeps track of what comes in to your server and allows you to set triggers on the server container based on this traffic. So where within your GTM web container you are used to setting triggers on site interactions such as clicks or page views, you set triggers on the server container on specific events that come in. These server container triggers trigger tag configurations that can forward the incoming events to your marketing and analytics platforms.
