UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What is a diesel backup generator? Why are they present in each and every data center facility?
The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 instruments for keeping a web server working in case there are troubles with the main source - an outage or unstable current that cannot keep the web server functioning properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it can often be called Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, essentially, an efficient battery that is connected to the hosting server and to the electric power network all of the time, so if there is any disturbance, it is already operating, which enables the server to keep on operating without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up an entire data center. It does take some time to begin working and it is the UPS which gives it that time. These 2 power solutions are a necessity for any facility or service provider that wants to prevent data loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electrical power issue.
