Your organization is looking to enhance its disaster recovery capabilities to ensure business continuity after an unexpected event. Which type of site provides an on-demand, operational environment that can be quickly made ready to resume critical business functions with all of the necessary hardware and software?
A hot site is a fully operational offsite data center equipped with hardware and software, configured to quickly assume operational responsibilities from a primary site in case of a disaster. This is the best option for business continuity as it enables rapid resumption of critical functions. A cold site, while being the least expensive, offers only space and utilities, requiring additional time to become operational. A warm site provides some pre-installed equipment but would still require additional time and effort to be fully operational. Therefore, a hot site offers the highest level of readiness for immediate disaster recovery.
