A small enterprise decides to implement a warm site to be available for business continuity in case of a disaster.
Which of the following BEST meets its requirements?
A . A fully operational site that has all the equipment in place and full data backup tapes on site
B . A site used for its data backup storage that houses a full-time network administrator
C . An operational site requiring some equipment to be relocated as well as data transfer to the site
D . A site staffed with personnel requiring both equipment and data to be relocated there in case of disaster
Answer: C
Explanation:
Cold site
Space and associated infrastructure (e.g., power, telecoms and environmental controls to support IT systems), which will only be installed when disaster recovery (DR) services are activated.
Warm site
Site that’s partially equipped with some of the equipment (e.g., computing hardware and software, and supporting personnel); organizations install additional equipment, computing hardware and software, and supporting personnel when DR services are activated.
Hot site
Fully equipped site with the required equipment, computing hardware/software and supporting personnel; it’s also fully functional and manned on a 24×7 basis so that it’s ready for organizations to operate their IT systems when DR services are activated.
