Leveraging platforms such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services Jiwa can be hosted to automatically scale to any number of users.
You can deploy a native session-based Remote Desktop Services (in Windows Server) deployment in a hosted environment (like on Azure Virtual Machines). These deployments are best for customers already familiar with and that have existing technical expertise with RDS deployments. Citrix XenApp can also be used to host the client application, allowing iOS, Android, Mac and Windows clients. Using Azure SQL Database as the database provides virtually zero maintenance burden and redundant storage.

For ultra-small deployments of 1 or 2 users, the MS SQL Server can be installed on a desktop machine, and the free edition of MS SQL Express could be utilised when cost is a significant factor. Whilst this solution will not scale well, it does eliminate the hardware and software cost of a dedicated MS SQL Server.
