Christina's organization has purchased a remote facility that they intend to use in case of a major disaster. The building has basic utilities, including Internet connectivity, but no other preparation has been made. What type of site is this?

Answer Options

A

A warm site

B

A hot site

C

A cold site

D

A dispersion site

Correct Answer: C

Explanation

Cold sites are spaces that are ready to be used in a disaster but without equipment or other necessary items in place to quickly take over production if needed. A warm site would have some hardware ready to be used, but the hardware would not be configured or otherwise ready for immediate resumption of service. A hot site is prepared to take over processing for an organization immediately, and infrastructure is running in parallel with your production site. Geographic dispersion is used to ensure that a single disaster does not impact multiple sites.
