Hot Site

A hot site is a fully equipped backup location that businesses can quickly switch to if their main facilities experience a disaster, such as a fire or cyber attack. It has all the necessary hardware, software, and data mirrored from the original site, allowing operations to resume with minimal downtime. This ensures continuity of essential functions and reduces the impact of disruptions. Hot sites are expensive but vital for organizations that need rapid recovery and high availability, especially in industries where downtime can be costly or detrimental.
