A company needs to implement a disaster recovery solution that ensures its critical services can be restored within minutes of a major outage. The solution must maintain a continuously updated copy of the production data, allowing for immediate failover. Which of the following DR sites best meets these requirements?
A hot site is the correct choice because it is a fully duplicated, operational environment with all the necessary hardware, software, and real-time data synchronization from the primary location. This allows for an almost immediate failover with minimal data loss. A warm site has hardware but requires data to be restored from backups, resulting in a longer recovery time. A cold site is a basic facility with power and cooling but no equipment or data, requiring a complete setup post-disaster. A mirrored site is a form of a hot site, but 'hot site' is the standard industry term for a DR facility with this level of readiness.
