A company is enhancing its disaster recovery strategies to improve its ability to maintain continuity of operations after a catastrophic system failure. Considering the importance of being able to resume mission-critical activities swiftly and efficiently, which of the following options should be the company's MAIN focus?
Setting up a cold site with basic infrastructure and no pre-installed systems
Transitioning to a warm site that can be operational within a few days of an incident
Implementing more frequent backups of all critical systems
Establishing a hot site to facilitate immediate failover
Hot sites are fully equipped data centers that can take over functionality from the primary site immediately or within a minimal time frame after a disaster. This allows for continuity of operations and a swift return to normal activities, which is crucial for maintaining mission-critical processes during an unplanned interruption. Cold sites, while less expensive, require more time to set up and are not ideal for immediate failover. Warm sites offer a middle ground but still involve a delay in resumption compared to hot sites. While backups are important, they are typically used to restore data and do not by themselves ensure operational continuity.
