What is the difference between ASP.NET Identity and IdentityServer?

I can not understand the difference between the two, asp.net identy is based on OWIN and does not introduce middleware, while IdentityServer introduced it, I'm confused.

ASP.NET Identity is a user repository management and authentication library. It includes some OWIN helper classes for binding to the OWIN security middleware, but otherwise has nothing to do with authentication.

IdentityServer is an OpenID Connect provider that acts as a central authentication server for multiple applications. This has nothing to do with storing or managing users.
