UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what exactly is their function and why are they available in data centers worldwide?
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by hosting service providers inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the appropriate running of the web servers situated within the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the web servers all of the time, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide the needed electric power to keep the web servers operational for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power supply is restored.
