A company requires that business critical applications must reside both onsite and offsite for disaster recovery needs. Which of the following BEST describes this scenario?

A hot site is a fully equipped offsite data center facility that provides near-real-time replication of data and applications, allowing for immediate business continuity and disaster recovery with minimal downtime, thus meeting the requirement for critical applications to reside both onsite and offsite for quick recovery.

A cold site is a basic facility with essential infrastructure but no equipment or data, requiring significant time and effort to become operational, which does not meet the immediate recovery needs of business-critical applications.

While cloud computing can facilitate disaster recovery, it is a technology model, not a specific disaster recovery site classification like hot, warm, or cold sites, and doesn't explicitly describe the 'both onsite and offsite' mirroring for immediate recovery.

A warm site has equipment but requires data and configuration to be loaded, leading to a longer recovery time than a hot site and not providing the immediate failover capability implied by business-critical applications needing to reside both onsite and offsite.
