A lot of studios use thin client/ PCoiP boxes from teradici etc.. They're pretty great overall and the bandwidth requirements aren't crazy high but it does max out your data usage if you're capped pretty quickly. The faster you can be, the better the experience. Some studios like Imageworks don't even have the backend data center in the same location. So the thin clients connect to a center in Washington state when the studios are in LA and Vancouver.
