A Mumbai-based payments company keeps a fully equipped secondary site with hardware, software and near-real-time replicated data, so that operations can resume within minutes of a failure at the primary site. How is this recovery site classified?
The site is a hot site. It is fully equipped and continuously synchronised with live data, allowing near-immediate takeover. Warm sites need some restoration time and cold sites provide only basic space and utilities, so neither fits recovery within minutes.

Explanation
A hot site is fully configured with current data and can take over almost immediately. A warm site has hardware but needs data restoration and configuration, so recovery takes longer. A cold site offers only space and utilities, giving the slowest recovery.
