UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by web hosting providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unsound and unable to support the appropriate running of the machines situated within the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a powerful battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the servers all of the time, so when the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine that can provide the needed electric power to keep the web servers up and running for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power source is restored.
