Disaster Recovery Site - alternate location where operations can continue if the primary site becomes unavailable. Like a backup office ready to use if your main building is damaged.

Real-World Example

Financial institutions maintain DR sites in different regions that can fully take over operations within hours of a disaster.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

A DR Site is a disaster recovery setup at an alternate location or region where systems can run if the primary site fails. Cloud providers offer disaster recovery services that replicate servers, storage, and application configurations so workloads can be recovered in another region or environment.
