Traditionally in Raleigh Durham area a Small Business Server resides onsite at the office of an  organization with 3-50 employees. Nowadays cloud technologies (which are embedded in form of Exchange, RWW - Remote Web Workplace, Share Point) and virtual machines allow for establishing Small Business Server hosting offsite, which results in considerable advantages for an organization of 5-25 users.

• customer avoids capital investment (initial cost) into hardware, software and IT services for the deployment: $5,000 - 10,000 
• management is outsourced by hosting provider (the cost is folded into a monthly fee)
• backups are monitored and controlled by the host

• valuable super-reliable bandwidth is provided "on the house" (10Mb per second in both directions)

1. File synchronization services like Good Sync, Owncloud or Dropbox (commercial or free) can silently run in the background providing local access to the data synchronized with the server. In fact, that's exactly how email has been handled by Outlook-Exchange pairing for many years now, it's only natural to embrace the same approach for files.
2. Customer can also choose complementary hosting of  several Windows 7 workstations accessible via Remote Web Workplace. This route would essentially turn local workstations into thin clients (or terminals), it's applicable for typical applications - word, excel, accounting but not suitable for working with image editing, audio or video processing.
