I’m working on a computer science discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Alternative Sites and Disaster Recovery
Many organizations plan for disasters by arranging for an alternative site in which the organization can continue operations if the main location is unable to function. These alternate locations can be in different buildings, different cities, or even different states, which depend on the type of disaster being prepared for.
A hot site includes all the equipment and data necessary to take over business functions. A mobile site can be set up in an outside space close to an impacted site.
