UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what precisely is their function and why are they available in data centers all over the world?
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by hosting service providers inside their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to support the proper functioning of the machines based in the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the web servers consistently, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already working, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can deliver the necessary electrical power to keep the web servers up and running 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 supply is restored.
