UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What's a UPS unit? What exactly is a diesel backup generator? Why exactly are they found in every single data center facility?
UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by website hosting companies in their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the correct running of the servers located within the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a powerful battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the web servers constantly, so when the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can provide you with the required power to keep the machines working for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.
