A. B. C. D.A.
A Hot Site contains everything needed to become operational in the shortest amount of time.
The following answers are incorrect: Computers and peripherals.
Is incorrect because no mention is made of cables.
You would not be fully operational without those.
Computers and dedicated climate control systems.
Is incorrect because no mention is made of peripherals.
You would not be fully operational without those.
Dedicated climate control systems.
Is incorrect because no mentionis made of computers, cables and peripherals.
You would not be fully operational without those.
According to the OIG, a hot site is defined as a fully configured site with complete customer required hardware and software provided by the service provider.A hot site in the context of the CBK is always a RENTAL place.If you have your own site fully equipped that you make use of in case of disaster that would be called a redundant site or an alternate site.
Wikipedia: "A hot site is a duplicate of the original site of the organization, with full computer systems as well as near-complete backups of user data."

A "hot site" refers to a fully operational backup site that can be used in the event of a disaster or system failure at the primary location. The purpose of a hot site is to provide a complete duplicate of the primary site's computing infrastructure, applications, and data, allowing operations to continue without any noticeable interruption.
Out of the given options, the best answer is (A) "Computers, climate control, cables, and peripherals." This is because a hot site must include all the essential components required to restore business operations quickly and effectively. These components typically include:
Computers: A hot site must have a complete set of computer systems that replicate the computing environment at the primary site. This includes servers, workstations, storage devices, and networking equipment.
Climate Control: Climate control is critical to maintaining the optimal operating temperature for computer systems. A hot site must have a dedicated climate control system to ensure that the computing infrastructure operates within the required temperature range.
Cables and Peripherals: Cables and peripherals are also essential components of a hot site. These include network cables, power cables, monitors, keyboards, and mice, among other items.
In summary, a hot site should have all the components required to replicate the computing environment at the primary site, including computers, climate control, cables, and peripherals.
