Made in the U.S.A.<\/span><\/h2>\n

To make things worse, \u201cMade in America\u201d could become a liability rather than the asset it\u2019s been.\u00a0 Boycotts<\/a>\u00a0of American-made technology, especially cloud technology,\u00a0are being discussed now. \u00a0Articles about PRISM killing the cloud<\/a> are showing up. \u00a0It\u2019s a mess.\u00a0\u2018Cloud\u2019 has had a challenging time when it came to a good security story, and this is going to make things harder.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Products are American Made<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"bald<\/a>With that in mind, we thought we should make a few things clear about our own products and situation.\u00a0 We are a company located in the United States of America.\u00a0 We have never<\/u> received any sort of subpoena, request, or anything remotely similar to that from a government or law enforcement entity for any customer information.\u00a0 And here\u2019s the beautiful part: if we ever did receive such a thing, we would be completely unable to help.\u00a0 This is important when considering a monitoring product.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most software products have some sort of user data.\u00a0 Monitoring products in particular hold lists of servers, file names, access records, often administrator usernames and passwords, and more.\u00a0 They must<\/u> be trusted because they typically go behind the curtains and watch the inner workings of the technology running a business.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not Able To Spy \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/h2>\n

With PA Server Monitor<\/a>,\u00a0PA File Sight<\/a>, and all of our other products, all of your information stays on your servers<\/strong><\/u>.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have central servers that store any of your monitoring data.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have your configuration data in the cloud.\u00a0 We don\u2019t even have it for an instant to display on\u00a0one of our\u00a0web pages (where it could theoretically be snooped on).\u00a0 Nothing.\u00a0 Your network layout, passwords, running service lists, file names, etc. are stored on your own infrastructure, 100% completely within your control.<\/span><\/p>\n

So we can never spy on you.\u00a0 We like that.\u00a0 And we can\u2019t be forced to help someone else spy on you either.\u00a0 We like that.\u00a0 We hope you will like it too.<\/span><\/p>\n
