Episode 64 — Resilience Sites: Hot, Warm, Cold, and Environmental Planning (3.4)
This episode explains hot, warm, and cold recovery sites and how they support resilience and disaster recovery planning. A hot site is ready for rapid failover with systems, connectivity, and data prepared for use, while a warm site has some infrastructure ready but may require configuration or data restoration. A cold site provides space and basic facilities but requires more setup before operations can resume. Students should understand the tradeoff between recovery speed, cost, readiness, and operational complexity. Environmental planning also matters, including geography, power, cooling, communications, physical access, and local disaster risks. For the exam, students should match the site type to business recovery needs and risk tolerance.
