Single Answer
0Nora has rented a building with access to bandwidth and power in case her organization ever experiences a disaster. What type of site has she established?
Answer Options
A
A hot site
B
A cold site
C
A warm site
D
A MOU site
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Nora has established a cold site. A cold site is a location that can be brought online but does not have systems; cold sites typically have access to power and bandwidth, but they need to be fully equipped to operate after a disaster since they are just rented space. Warm sites have some or all of the infrastructure and systems Nora needs but does not have data. A hot site is a fully functional environment with all of the hardware, software, and data needed to operate an organization. They are expensive to maintain and run but are used by organizations that cannot take the risk of downtime. A MOU is a memorandum of understanding and is not a type of disaster recovery site.
