Definition

  • A cold site, also known as a “shell site,” is a designated standby recovery facility (a warehouse, an empty office building, or a similar construction) large enough to host the mission-critical activities and applications of an organization's primary site. It is essentially a reserved maintained space (raised floors with electricity, air conditioning, humidity controls, fire protection, and pre-installed wiring) ready for the installation of workstations, office equipment, and networking and computer systems that will be shipped in the event of a primary site outage.
