Warm site: A disaster recovery option between a hot site and a cold site, a warm site provides a location equipped with the necessary infrastructure and connectivity but not the active hardware or data required for immediate operation. Organizations use warm sites to expedite recovery time following a disruption, as they can quickly be equipped with backups and necessary systems to resume critical operations.
