UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by website hosting companies within their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the appropriate operation of the servers based in the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an efficient battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the web servers all of the time, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine that can supply the necessary electrical power to keep the servers functioning for a longer period of time. In the case of an outage, the UPS gives the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.
