A hot site is the most comprehensive alternate recovery facility. It already contains compatible hardware, installed and updated software, network connectivity, and near-real-time copies of critical data, allowing operations to switch over almost immediately after a disruption. A warm site has the hardware and network in place but still needs software configuration and data restoration before it can be used. A cold site offers only powered space and basic utilities; all equipment, software, and data must be brought in. Remote backup repositories provide data storage only and no computing capability, so they cannot assume full production workloads on their own.
