CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 1003

A stock trading company had the budget for enhancing its secondary datacenter approved. Since the main site is in a hurricane-affected area and the disaster recovery site is 100mi (161km) away, the company wants to ensure its business is always operational with the least amount of man hours needed. Which of the following types of disaster recovery sites should the company implement?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A cloud-based site is the best option as it offers scalability, flexibility, and reduced management overhead, allowing the company to maintain operations with minimal manpower during a disaster. A hot site requires more resources and constant readiness, while warm and cold sites do not provide the same level of immediacy and operational continuity needed in this situation.
