# SaaS ## Overview Under the Software as a Service (SaaS) deployment model, Panther owns and manages the AWS account in which your Panther instance is deployed, along with the Snowflake backend. SaaS instances can be deployed in [any of these supported AWS regions](https://docs.panther.com/system-configuration/panther-deployment-types/..#supported-aws-regions). Learn about how Panther configures Snowflake instances on [Snowflake Configuration for Optimal Search Performance](https://docs.panther.com/search/backend/snowflake/configuration). For information on Panther's other deployment models, see [Panther Deployment Types](https://docs.panther.com/system-configuration/panther-deployment-types). ## Snowflake data access in SaaS deployments If you wish to share data between your Panther-managed Snowflake account and your own internal Snowflake account, please contact your Panther support team. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
