UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What's a UPS unit? What exactly is a diesel backup generator? Why exactly are they present in every data center?
The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a server working if there are troubles with the primary power supply - a disruption or unstable current which cannot keep the web server functional, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is sometimes called Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, in simple terms, a highly effective battery that's attached to the hosting server and to the power network all the time, so in the case of any interruption, it's already functioning, that permits the web server to continue running without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up an entire data center. It needs some time to start working and it is the UPS which provides this time. Those two power solutions are absolutely essential for any facility or provider that wants to stop information loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected power problem.
