UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What's a UPS unit? What is a diesel backup generator? Why are they found in each and every data center?
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by hosting service providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the proper operation of the machines situated in the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the web servers constantly, so when the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine which can supply the required electric power to keep the servers up and running for a longer period of time. In the case of 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.
