# Panther Deployment Types

## Overview

Panther currently offers two deployment models: [Software as a Service (SaaS)](/system-configuration/panther-deployment-types/saas.md) and [Cloud Connected](/system-configuration/panther-deployment-types/cloud-connected.md). The primary difference between these deployments is the owner of the AWS account your Panther instance in deployed in, the owner of the Snowflake or Databricks account your data is stored in, and the entity who manages your Panther platform (i.e., performs initial deployments and subsequent platform upgrades).
