The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a server functioning in case there are difficulties with the primary power source - a disruption or unstable current which cannot keep the web server functional, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, essentially, an effective battery that's attached to the server and to the power network consistently, so if there is any blackout, it's already operating, that permits the hosting server to carry on operating without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine which can power up the whole data center. It needs some time to start working and it is the UPS that provides this time. These 2 power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or service provider that wants to avoid info loss and hardware damage as a result of an unexpected electrical power problem.
