ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
After an earthquake destroys its on-premises data center, a company plans to relocate critical workloads to a mobile site. The vendor will deliver a fully equipped data-center trailer with preinstalled servers and storage. Which statement best reflects a key characteristic of this interim processing strategy that the business continuity team must include in the disaster recovery plan?
It arrives with hardware and software installed but still requires external power, cooling, and network hookups, so recovery time is usually hours to several days.
It costs more to maintain than a fixed hot site because it must stay synchronized 24x7 regardless of location.
It is effectively a cold site because the trailer is delivered empty and must be fully provisioned after arrival.
It offers real-time data replication and near-instant failover comparable to a traditional hot site with no additional setup once delivered.
A mobile site is a transportable, preconfigured facility that can host production systems, but it is not instantly available like a hot site. Because the trailer must be hauled to a suitable location and connected to external power, cooling, and network services before workloads can start, recovery typically takes hours to a few days. Immediate fail-over is therefore unrealistic, and ongoing 24x7 synchronization is not required unless the organization has arranged it separately. Likewise, the hardware and software arrive already installed, so the site is not equivalent to a cold site that must be built from scratch.
