Explanation:
A warm site is a leased or rented facility that is usually partially configured with some equipment, such as HVAC, and foundational infrastructure components, but not the actual computers. In other words, a warm site is usually a hot site without the expensive equipment such as communication equipment and servers.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A hot site is a facility that is leased or rented and is fully configured and ready to operate within a few hours. The only missing resources from a hot site are usually the data.
B: A rolling hot site is a mobile facility, typically the back of an 18-wheel truck. It has all of the capabilities of a hot site and is very versatile, but expensive. Hot sites are fully equipped.
D: A cold site is a leased or rented facility that supplies the basic environment, electrical wiring, air conditioning, plumbing, and flooring, but none of the equipment or additional services.
