For schools in Germany I believe the storage is usually in the same rack as the server the clients connect to for data protection reasons. There’s no reason you couldn’t do that elsewhere.
Scaling that doesn’t work, but local needs, for sure. It’s what people are fired and hired over every day. Ever told someone you’d lose 40 plus percent of speed (was really 90) but had to quit to speak. It happens daily.
Edit: maybe it doesn’t just work here… You know our environment
In bigish companies each department could have their own terminal server then transferring files between departments is still slow but it would be anyways. The only issue I could think of is input lag but nobody I know who is using a thin client has complained about that.
