There are obvious cost and ready-time differences among the five options. The mirrored site is the most expensive choice, but it comes closest to virtually 100 percent availability, if it is geographically outside the disaster zone. Cold sites are the least expensive to maintain; however, they require substantial time to acquire and install necessary equipment. Partially equipped sites such as warm sites fall in the middle of the spectrum. In many cases, mobile sites are delivered to the desired location within 24–48 hours. However, installation time can increase this response time, and, if the mobile resources are in use by another customer, they may not be available. Figure 1 summarizes the criteria that can be employed to determine which type of alternate site meets your organization's requirements. Moreover, analyze sites further based on the specific requirements defined in your BIA. As sites are evaluated, be sure that the system's security, management, operational and technical controls, such as firewalls and physical access controls, are compatible with the prospective site.
