The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 means for keeping a web server operational in case there are troubles with the main source - a disruption or unreliable current that can't keep the web server working correctly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is sometimes called Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, essentially, a powerful battery which is connected to the web server and to the electric power network at all times, so in the case of any disruption, it's already functioning, that permits the hosting server to continue running without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up a whole data center. It does take some time to start working and it's the UPS that provides this time. These 2 power solutions are fundamental for any facility or service provider that wants to prevent information loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electrical power issue.
