Segments of an Interview with Mr. Miller Cooper, founder and CEO of Sago Networks
/In this interview on HostReview.com, we ask Mr. Miller Cooper, founder and CEO of Sago Networks http://www.sagonet.com, a few questions about his company and his views on the hosting industry as a whole./
Please tell our members about the latest developments at Sago Networks.
Our proudest achievement of late is the completion of Sago's own fiber network that connects the metropolitan Atlanta area to our Tampa and Miami locations. This fiber will make transportation of data between datacenters or even connecting to other carriers faster and cost effective. The choice of carriers has been lacking for many customers in the southeast, but by connecting to both NAP's of Miami and Atlanta, Sago has the capacity to transport up to 800Gbps for its customers and resellers of data transport. Many carriers that provide transport only as far as Atlanta or Miami can soon extend their offerings to go those extra 600+ miles through our fiber network.
What sets your service apart from other companies?
Sago's ability to meet the needs of customers is one of its most amazing features. Some companies have borrowed and borrowed to try to break into this business, but we have a debt free company and wholly owned infrastructure. Not everyone can afford to build the facility to become a major player in the hosting business. Sago has the experience and the facilities already built and fully under our control. The staff of Sago possesses expertise to help clients determine the best way of solving their most difficult networking and hosting issues. It's why our managed and custom server solution packages have become very popular as companies require cost effective and increasingly more powerful hosting solutions.
What are you ambitions and plans for the future development of Sago Networks?
What eventual obstacles do you foresee?
Sago Networks expects to increase its profile for what we are already known for: great service as a custom solutions provider, expandability to meet customers growing demands, and experience in the operations of multiple datacenters. We plan to be a major hub for much of the hosting and traffic through the Southeastern US and a premium global hosting destination for customers that need Geo-hosting located in the United States. We have already overcome one of the biggest obstacles in our business of acquiring large
amounts of bandwidth to accommodate customers' growing needs by acquiring the fiber network to meet future growth demands. We are now able to provide any specifically desired carrier that provides connectivity at either of the NAP's in the Southeast. Sago always looks for the obstacles in its path to resolve them quickly, but we only look for obstacles as a new challenge to provide a better solution. Our motto has always been 'The Internet Solutions Provider', and we strive to live up to that title each and every day.

Fiber and Disaster Recovery
The first step in a sensible business continuity planning process is to consider the potential impacts of each type of disaster or event. You cannot properly plan for a disaster if you have little idea of the impacts on your organization of the different scenarios, particularly when your company must comply with federal regulations regarding privacy & security of data such as HIPPA, Sarbanes Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or The Patriot Act.
