UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What precisely a diesel backup generator? Why exactly are they found in every data center facility?
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by website hosting companies in their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unstable and unable to support the correct functioning of the web servers based 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 is connected to both the power network and the servers all of the time, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can supply the necessary power to keep the machines functioning 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 primary source is restored.
