Explanation
A warm site is a middle-ground disaster recovery facility that has hardware, software, and network infrastructure partially or mostly configured, but lacks current production data. It requires some setup time (typically hours to a few days) before it can assume operations, primarily because data must be restored or replicated. A hot site is fully operational with current data and can take over almost immediately. A cold site has only basic infrastructure (power, space, connectivity) with no pre-installed systems or data. There is no standard 'cloud site' classification in this context.
