Answer:

Cold Site

Step-by-step explanation:

An offsite backup facility intended to operate as an information processing facility, without computer or communications equipment but with flooring, electrical wiring, power, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is commonly referred to as a "Cold Site".

A cold site is a type of disaster recovery facility that provides physical infrastructure and basic utilities necessary for restoring operations in the event of a disaster or system failure. However, unlike hot sites or warm sites that have pre-installed computer systems and communication infrastructure, a cold site does not have active equipment.

In a cold site, organizations typically need to provide and install their own computer systems, network equipment, and restore their data from backups. Cold sites are generally less expensive compared to hot or warm sites, but they typically have longer recovery times as the setup and installation of necessary equipment takes time.

Cold sites are suitable for organizations that have longer acceptable downtime and can manage the delay in setting up and restoring their operations.
