Unless Apple changes direction, the "server" version is now nothing more
than a few apps added to the desktop version. The last full fledge
server was Snow Leopard. The server version is really aimed now at the
home server or very small office server, as opposed to a real server in
a data centre.

I don't see OS-X competing in the server market anymore.

Whether VMS wants to be in the data centre compute engine/transaction
processing, and/or supporting small offices for file/print services, I
guess it will be up to VSI.

There is some commonality between various flavours of servers, but to be
"best in breed" you probably want to focus on one.
