UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
Understand more info on UPSs & diesel backup generators and learn why each and every hosting data center has them.
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by hosting providers within their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unsound and unable to support the correct running of the servers based within the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the servers at all times, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide the needed power to keep the servers operational for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS provides the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power source is restored.
