A company wants to implement a disaster recovery site for non-critical applications, which can tolerate a short period of downtime. Which of the following types of sites should the company implement to achieve this goal?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
The type of site that the company should implement for non-critical applications that can tolerate a short period of downtime is a warm site. A warm site is a disaster recovery site that has some pre-installed equipment and software, but not as much as a hot site, which is fully operational and ready to take over the primary site's functions in case of a disaster. A warm site requires some time and effort to activate and synchronize with the primary site, but not as much as a cold site, which has no equipment or software installed and requires a lot of configuration and testing. A passive site is not a common term for a disaster recovery site, but it could refer to a site that only receives backups from the primary site and does not actively participate in the network operations.
