UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
Learn a lot more about UPSs & diesel backup generators and discover why every single hosting data center includes them.
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by hosting providers inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unstable and unable to maintain the proper functioning of the servers situated in the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the web servers all of the time, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine that can provide you with the needed energy to keep the web servers operational for a longer period of time. In case of 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.
