Chapter 8: Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery - Preventative Measures and Recovery Strategies

Hot Site - Place that is all the way ready to go for operation
Advantage - Ready and highly available.
Disadvantage- Costs a lot and equipment choice is usually limited.

Warm Site - A Hot site without the hardware.
Advantage - Less expensive
Disadvantage - Takes a little more time to get up and running.

Cold Site - A site that has basic utilities but no equipment.
Advantage - Available for a long time because it is so much cheaper than other options
Disadvantage - Takes time for operations to resume here.

I thought that this was really neat because I never knew that companies actually have these in case of a disaster.
