Question

A stock trading company had the budget for enhancing its secondary datacenter approved. Since the main site is in a hurricane affected area and the disaster recovery site is 100 miles (161km) away. The company wants to ensure its business is always operational with the least amount of man hours needed. Which of the following types of disaster recovery sites should the company implement? Hot site warm site cold site cloud-based site

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is hot site.

Explanation:

A hot site is a site where a company's operation can take place after a disaster. it is a duplicate of the original site and is situated at an off-premises location. It is a backup site which has all the equipment that is required to continue operations. it is always online and immediately available.  

A warm site has lesser equipment than a hot site and requires more time to be operational. A cold site has the least equipment and takes a few days to be operational but is the cheapest alternative.  

Since the company here wants the business to resume in the least time it should go for a hot site.
