UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What exactly is a diesel backup generator? Why exactly are they present in every data center?
UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by hosting companies within their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to sustain the correct functioning of the web servers located within the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an efficient battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the web servers constantly, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can supply the needed energy to keep the web servers up and running for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main source is restored.
