UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what is their job and why are they available in data centers worldwide?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery used to power a computer or a hosting server in order to avoid the loss of data when the main source of energy fails for some reason or becomes risky. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to ensure the constant running of all the machines located there. Because the UPS operates all the time, it provides the desired power for the servers to remain up and running until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is essential for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in case there is a power surge or outage, as it provides them with lots of time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
