UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
Know more details on UPSs & diesel backup generators and discover why each hosting data center features them.
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery which is used to power a personal computer or a web server to avoid the loss of data if the main power source fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to ensure the continuous operation of all of the servers located there. Because the UPS operates constantly, it offers the required power for the machines to remain up and running until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is essential for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in case of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it gives them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
