Explanation
A cold site is a facility that provides only basic infrastructure - floor space, power, cooling, and network connectivity - with no pre-installed hardware or software. It carries the lowest ongoing cost because there is no equipment to maintain. However, it is the most difficult and time-consuming to test because all hardware must be sourced, delivered, configured, and loaded with data before operations can resume, making full recovery tests logistically complex and slow.
