A lot of my small business are expanding into additional small offices rather than increasing the number of folks at the main office too. It's a new phenomena created by remote web workplace and OWA. Business owners enjoy the remote work capabilities and decide to put a couple of folks in a small office across town instead of adding another desk at the main office. SBS2003 launched a revolution in small businesses; I'm calling them webs instead of multi-site enterprises. For example, I have one client with 6 people in the main office, 15 people working from home, 2 people in two other offices and a home office from which all bookkeeping and a secondary business is run out of. I have them all using Citrix; we specify the anti-virus software they have to use and then we don't worry about them. The difference is, I think, that these remote offices usually don't have servers at them. The small biz world is going with adding a terminal server or site-to-site VPN and not installing a server at the remote office. They are usually just sitting behind the DSL router with minimal firewall capabilities and using it as the VPN end point as well.
