The above mentioned Common LaTeX Service Interface provides exactly 
what you are looking for.

It provides a way to send of latex snippets for compilation on another 
server.

This essentially means you do not need to install latex on all client 
machines but just one (which usually is the server).

The pdf file is generated on the server and returned to the client.
