Gino, Thanks for the response. Development and testing, thats a great idea that I hadn't tought about. I think that those two are valid reasons for using a hot site.
While further thinking about this I thought that the hot site could also be used to mitigate downtime during maintenance. By switching operations to the hot site during planned downtime for maintenance the customers don't have to lose access while we update our systems.
Thanks,
Jacob
: Hello Jacob,

: Maybe you could use the systems sitting in that site for Dev, pre-prod or test purpose.

: Or maybe split the productions systems in both sites for faster recovery.
