A cold site is a type of disaster recovery site that is equipped with adequate physical space but lacks the necessary IT and telecommunications equipment. This site requires setup and installation of equipment before operations can commence, which can lead to longer recovery times compared to other types of sites. This definition differentiates it from warm and hot sites, which have varying levels of readiness and pre-installed equipment, facilitating faster recovery.
