A warm site is an intermediate type of disaster recovery solution that typically includes some operational resources like server racks and network connectivity, but does not actively mirror real-time data. It requires a moderate amount of time to become fully functional, often ranging from several hours to a day or so, which aligns precisely with the organization's requirement for a site that can be brought up to speed quickly but is not expected to be instantly available. A hot site, being fully operational and mirroring data in real-time, usually entails higher costs and would be excessive for 'moderate' readiness needs. A cold site, on the other hand, is not immediately operational and would require a significant amount of time and effort to set up, delaying the resumption of IT operations beyond a moderate timeframe. A cloud site, depending on the services and configurations, could offer rapid deployment but may vary in terms of setup, cost, and the ability to meet the specific moderate readiness requirements without additional information.
