On premise benefits

Here is some basic information about on premise solutions that can be used for Jiwa. There are two models we recommend – one with a Remote Desktop Server (RDS) and one without.

Both options require a dedicated SQL Server and each user requires their own PC (Workstation).

Management of more than a handful of users can become difficult without an RDS server – software updates need to be deployed to each individual users workstation, whereas with an RDS environment only one update on the RDS Server is required.

Workstations

Jiwa is just a Windows desktop app, so your average PC will be sufficient – whether the user is going to connect via an RDS server or not.

RDS Server

As a general rule, Jiwa the application requires 512MB of RAM and one CPU core or VCore. Under provisioning the CPU cores is usually acceptable, as the Jiwa CPU usage is bursty – it does depend on the usage patterns of the users, but plan for 0.5 cores per user as a starting point, in addition to 2 cores for the operating system.

Feature Minimum Requirement Recommendation
CPU
2 Cores + 0.5 cores per Jiwa User
2 Cores + 1 Core per Jiwa User
