During its business impact analysis, a multinational financial-services firm determines that its core trading platform cannot be unavailable for more than two hours, can afford no more than fifteen minutes of data loss, must maintain full processing capacity, and must switch over seamlessly when the primary data center fails. Which recovery site strategy would BEST satisfy these requirements?
A hot site is the only strategy that fulfills all stated objectives. Hot sites are fully equipped facilities with current hardware, software, and near-real-time data replication, enabling immediate failover and full production capacity within minutes. By contrast, warm sites generally require several hours to become operational and seldom meet a 15-minute recovery-point objective. Cold sites may take days or weeks to provision, and reciprocal agreements cannot guarantee immediate resources or complete capacity.
