SK0-004 · Question #97
Which of the following describes an alternate site where only the infrastructure (building, power, cooling) has been established?
The correct answer is D. Cold site. A cold site provides only basic physical infrastructure such as the building, power, and cooling, with no pre-installed hardware or software, making it the most time-consuming recovery option.

Why each option
A cold site provides only basic physical infrastructure such as the building, power, and cooling, with no pre-installed hardware or software, making it the most time-consuming recovery option.
A mirror site is a fully synchronized real-time duplicate of the production environment, not a bare-infrastructure-only facility.
A warm site has some pre-installed hardware and partial configuration already in place, making it more ready than a cold site.
A hot site is a fully operational facility that mirrors the production environment and can assume operations with minimal downtime, the opposite of a cold site.
A cold site establishes only the physical facility components - building space, electrical power, and environmental cooling - but contains no pre-configured servers, networking equipment, or software. Because all IT equipment must be procured and installed after a disaster is declared, cold sites have the longest recovery time but the lowest ongoing cost among alternate site types.
