UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What exactly is a diesel backup generator? Why are they present in each and every data center?
UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by website hosting providers within their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unsound and unable to maintain the appropriate running of the servers located inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an efficient battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the servers at all times, so when the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can provide you with the necessary electrical power to keep the servers working for a longer period of time. In the case of an outage, the UPS provides the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.
