UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What is a diesel backup generator? For what reason are they present in every data center?
UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by website hosting companies within their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the appropriate running of the machines situated inside the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the servers at all times, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can provide the necessary electrical power to keep the machines up and running for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.
