UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What's a UPS unit? What precisely a diesel backup generator? Why are they present in every single data center facility?
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by hosting companies in their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the correct running of the web servers located in the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the web servers consistently, so if the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide you with the necessary electrical power to keep the machines working for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main source is restored.
