Well there are advantages to that.

What you should tell him is that he can't have it both ways. Either it's
multiple worker nodes concurrently writing to the same workstation -- in
which case he needs "a server" on the workstation to accept incoming
connections and all that overhead, with enough oomph to handle
concurrency he expects. Or it's a beefed-up central server where
everybody writes to, and every workstation can poll it and maintain its
own state databases from there (i.e. worker nodes don't talk back to
submit nodes).
