UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
Learn more about UPSs & diesel backup generators and discover why every hosting data center has them.
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by web hosting companies in their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the correct operation of the machines based inside the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the web servers all of the time, so if the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can give you the required electric power to keep the web servers working for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power supply is restored.
