UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by website hosting service providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unstable and unable to support the proper operation of the servers situated inside the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the web servers at all times, so if the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide you with the necessary power to keep the web servers working 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 source is restored.
