UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what exactly is their function and why are they available in data centers around the world?
UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by web hosting service providers in their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unsound and unable to support the correct running of the servers located in the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an effective battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the servers constantly, so when the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can give you the needed power to keep the web servers operational for a longer period of time. In the case of 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.
