A media service wants a fallback setup in case its primary facility stops functioning. The company's goal is to continue operations as quickly as possible with minimal data loss. Which disaster recovery setup best achieves this goal?
A third-party cloud service that only stores nightly data backups without any pre-configured compute resources.
A partially equipped site with hardware and network connections, but which requires data to be restored from recent backups.
A fully operational site that mirrors the primary environment and uses real-time data synchronization for immediate failover.
An available space with power and cooling where all servers and data must be installed and configured after a disaster.
A hot site is a fully replicated environment with systems online and data synchronized in real-time, enabling immediate failover. This meets the requirement for resuming operations quickly with minimal downtime. In contrast, a warm site has hardware but requires data restoration, and a cold site is an empty facility requiring a full setup of both hardware and data. Both warm and cold sites introduce significant delays that would not meet the stated goal.
