Exam N10-007 topic 1 question 189 discussion

I agree it's a cold site. This is from Mike's book • A cold site is a location that consists of a building, facilities, desks, toilets, parking—everything that a business needs … except computers. A cold site will generally take more than a few days to bring online. • A warm site is the same as a cold site, but adds computers loaded with software and functioning servers—a complete hardware infrastructure. A warm site lacks current data and may not have functioning Internet/network links. Bringing this site up to speed may start with activating your network links, and it most certainly requires loading data from recent backups. A warm site should only take a day or two to bring online. • A hot site has everything a warm site does, but also includes very recent backups. It might need just a little data restored from a backup to be current, but in many cases a hot site is a complete duplicate of the primary site. A proper hot site should only take a few hours to bring online.

Although the budget is limited, a cold site data center can't be available in 72 hours. It is a warm site. https://blog.vrad.com/disaster-recovery-models-gauging-nines

Budget is a major concern

A cold site will "take more than 3 days to bring online". Assuming the tech put some hardware in place thereby making it possible to have the site up and running within the time frame, only then does it become a warm site.

Cold site is the best option.

Correct answer is A. Cold site. It seems that at this moment it is just an empty space and they have only OPTION of putting infrastructure equipment in place. Equipment is not there which is required for a warm site. So it seems it is cold site. More information: https://www.professormesser.com/security-plus/sy0-401/cold-site-hot-site-and-warm-site-2/

the question asks what is thier stratagy not what state is the site currently at hence the 72 hr time frame leads me to believe it is intending to be a warm site.

As the name suggests, a warm site is in between a hot site and a cold site. A hot site is fully functional and allows immediate recovery from a disaster while a cold site only includes infrastructure but no technology until a disaster hits. Answer is A

72 hours is a long time for a business to resume operations, especially larger operations. This is a cold site.

I have to agree with the Cold site ,all they have is space no equipment, and 72 Hr. 6 days contractually to get up and running

The strategy is a warm site strategy. It isn't asking for the current situation. Management want to be BIAW in 72 Hours and there is a space they can install infrastructure.

It should be a Warm Site, ready to go withing 3 days. Cold site can take several weeks to get service to and equipment

Cold site 100%, as they put the infrastructure it will be Warm site. To insert and to be able to insert are two different things

Not poorly worded--strategically worded. They aren't stupid. Adding/removing arbitrary questions with arbitrary answers are how they keep the pass/fail rate wherever they want it.

poorly worded, but since the scenario does not state that some equipment is put in place, and that there is option to bring in hardware, then its more approproiately viewed as a cold site.

Are they going to put in the infrastructure or not? The business continuity plan is incomplete at this point.

Warm site
