UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by website hosting companies inside their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unstable and unable to support the proper running of the servers based within the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an efficient battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the web servers constantly, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine that can provide the needed electrical power to keep the machines functioning for a longer period of time. In the case 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.
