UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by web hosting providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unsound and unable to sustain the correct running of the servers situated in the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the web servers at all times, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already working, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine that can provide you with the necessary energy to keep the machines operational for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.
