A logistics firm wants a remote plan for disruptions that is cost-effective. They are prepared for extended setup time, but they do not want to maintain hardware. Which location best meets these needs?
A plan that copies running systems and provides low downtime
A secondary facility with partial infrastructure that can be activated with moderate reconfiguration
A model that synchronizes information across sites for automated switchover
A building that offers space but has no pre-installed equipment or data
A site that keeps full copies of running systems with minimal downtime is a hot site, which is costly and requires continuous replication. A facility that already contains some pre-staged equipment is a warm site and still demands more maintenance and expense than desired. Designs that automatically synchronize data across multiple locations likewise correspond to hot or active-active configurations. A cold site-just space with power, cooling, and connectivity but no installed equipment or data-has the lowest ongoing cost but the longest time to become operational, matching the firm's requirements.
