Explanation
Warm standby solutions maintain a secondary site that is partially active and pre-configured, ready to take over quickly but does not run all services fully active 24/7. This balances cost and availability by keeping resources ready without full continuous operation. It supports manual initiation of failover, allowing the company to control precisely when the failover occurs, which aligns with the strict policy requirements. Warm standby can sustain several hours of data loss, fitting the scenario where backups allow some data recovery delay.
