Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 517 discussion

C. Hot site is the most appropriate solution for the CEO's requirements. A hot site is a fully redundant data center that has all the necessary hardware, software, and data to support a company's critical business functions in the event of a disaster. The hot site is typically located in a different geographic location than the primary site to ensure business continuity in case of a natural disaster or other disruptive event. The hot site is continuously operational and has real-time data synchronization to ensure zero data loss. A cloud site may be a viable solution as well, as it provides automatic replication and redundancy of data and services across multiple geographic locations. However, the CEO's requirement for fully redundant equipment may not be met with a cloud site. A warm site is a partially configured and equipped data center that requires some setup time to become operational, so it is not an appropriate solution for zero data loss requirements. A cold site is a completely empty data center that requires significant setup time to become operational, making it an unsuitable solution for a CEO who wants to ensure that business operations are not disrupted.
