UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
Discover a lot more about UPSs & diesel backup generators and learn why every single hosting data center has them.
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery which is used to power a PC or a web server in order to avoid the loss of data when the main source of energy fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to guarantee the continuous operation of all of the machines located there. Due to the fact that the UPS works at all times, it provides the required power for the machines to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is essential for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in case there is a power surge or outage, since it offers them lots of time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
