Linked servers allow for easy management of a remote server by working from one central interface. You may not have direct access to the linked server even, but by way of another server which is linked to it to allow management, you can now control it. This is very similar to how our DMZ system works, with the exception that a linked server doesn't act like a reverse proxy which the DMZ does.
