UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
Learn a lot more about UPSs & diesel backup generators and discover why each hosting data center has them.
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery that is used to power a computer or a web server to prevent the loss of data when the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to ensure the continuous functioning of all the web servers located there. As the UPS operates constantly, it provides the required power for the machines to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is crucial for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in the case of a power surge or outage, as it offers them ample time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
