Which facility type is not fully equipped like a hot site and is typically described in terms of days?

• A. Hot Site
• B. Warm Site
• C. Cold Site
• D. Mobile Site

Answer: (B)

In disaster recovery planning, the different facility types show how ready they are to take over operations. A warm site sits between a hot site and a cold site: it has some equipment, power, and networking already in place, but it isn’t configured to run production immediately. Because you still need to install or restore key systems and data, bringing it online takes longer—typically hours to days. That time frame is why it’s described in terms of days. A hot site is fully ready to go within minutes, a cold site provides space with no equipment and requires a full setup, and a mobile site is a portable solution deployed as needed. The warm site’s intermediate level of readiness and its activation window match describing it in days.
