UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by hosting providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to sustain the appropriate operation of the machines based inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a powerful battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the servers all of the time, so if the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine which can supply the needed electric power to keep the servers functioning for a longer period of time. In the event 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.
