A. Although a hot site enables the business to meets its recovery point objective
(RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO), the cost to maintain a hot site is more
than the cost to maintain a warm site, which could also meet the objectives.
B. A cold site, although providing basic infrastructure, lacks the required hardware
to meet the business objectives.
C. A mirrored site provides fully redundant facilities with real-time data
replication. It can meet the business objectives, but it is not as cost-effective a
solution as a warm site.
D. A warm site is the most appropriate solution because it provides basic
infrastructure and most of the required IT equipment to affordably meet the
business requirements. The remainder of the equipment needed can be provided
through vendor agreements within a few days. The RTO is the amount of time
allowed for the recovery of a business function or resource after a disaster occurs.
The RPO is determined based on the acceptable data loss in case of a disruption of
operations. The RPO indicates the earliest point in time that is acceptable to
recover the data, and it effectively quantifies the permissible amount of data loss
in case of interruption.
