Cold-sites have many variations depending on their communication facilities, UPS systems, or configuration.

Warm Site – A climate controlled alternate processing site, which is only partially equipped (As compared to Hot Site, which is fully equipped).

Hot Site - A climate controlled alternate facility that has the equipment and resources to recover the business functions affected by the occurrence of a disaster.

Why Stay Local?

In the past, when recovery meant a mainframe in a hot site, it was easier to assume that a few operators could make the trip to a remote site. However, when dealing with workgroup recovery, the logistics of such a move become highly complicated. Your employees are people first – they have families, homes and obligations outside of your organization. Asking them to get on an airplane within 24 hours of a catastrophic occurrence, for an unspecified amount of time, can be an impossible task. Unfortunately, you have to assume that a disaster may have caused injury or damage to property of personnel or their families and those situations could take precedence over your recovery.
