You are advising a school district on disaster recovery plans. In case a disaster affects the main IT
centers for the district they will need to be able to work from an alternate location. However,
budget is an issue. Which of the following is most appropriate for this client?
A.
Cold site
B.
Off site
C.
Warm site
D.
Hot site
Explanation:
A cold site provides an office space, and in some cases basic equipment. However,
you will need to restore your data to that equipment in order to use it. This is a much less
configured and ready to use. This may make disaster recovery much faster, but will also be more
expensive. And a school district can afford to be down for several hours before resuming IT
is between a hot and cold site. It has some equipment ready and connectivity ready. However, it is
incorrect. Off site is not any type of backup site terminology.
