Setting up a cold site involves several key steps:
Location Selection: Choose a geographically safe location that is less prone to the same risks as your primary site. Infrastructure Planning: Plan for the necessary infrastructure such as power, HVAC, and network connectivity. Equipment and Supplies: Ensure that you have a list of equipment and supplies that will be needed in the event of a disaster. Vendor Agreements: Establish agreements with vendors for quick delivery of hardware and other essentials. Testing and Maintenance: Regularly test and maintain the site to ensure its readiness.
