This option is available on ArcGIS online, but I have not figured out if this can be acheived on the ArcGIS server.

Slippy map is a very easy way for developers to consume a map service and is widely supported. Your map service layer API on ArcGIS online look something like this:

https://tiles.arcgis.com/awsødkøaslkd/arcgis/rest/services/<service name>/MapServer/tile/{z}/{y}/{x}

Is this possible on ArcGIS Server?

Are we talking a standalone server?

With Enterprise, it's a "hosted imagery layer" by name, but under the hood, it's just XYZ tiles.

Personally, I find it easier to generate the XYZ tiles and throw them into a web directory or cloud storage location, that way the tiles can be served at the URL of your choosing.
