If your RAID runs without a network connection, install it on the RAID PC
with the rest of the PAM components.
If your RAIDs are networked, you can install the Monitoring Utility on any
computer connected to the network.
If your company has networked RAIDs and Internet access, you may
choose to install the Monitoring Utility on a laptop or home-based PC for
dial-in remote access.
Limit your installation to the computers of RAID users and your IT
administrator. PAM features password protection to further limit access
and provide security of your data.
