UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
Learn a lot more about UPSs & diesel backup generators and discover why every hosting data center includes them.
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by website hosting service providers within their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the appropriate running of the machines situated within the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the servers all of the time, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can provide you with the needed energy to keep the servers operational for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS gives the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power source is restored.
