UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what exactly is their job and why are they available in data center facilities anywhere in the world?
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by website hosting service providers in their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the correct running of the web servers located within the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a powerful battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the electrical power network and the web servers consistently, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide you with the necessary power to keep the machines functioning for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS gives the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power supply is restored.
