The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 means for keeping a server working in case there are problems with the primary power supply - an outage or shaky current that cannot keep the web server working properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, basically, a powerful battery that's attached to the server and to the power network all of the time, so in case there is any blackout, it is already functioning, that permits the web server to carry on working without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up the whole data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS that provides that time. These 2 power solutions are a necessity for any facility or service provider that wants to stop information loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected electric power problem.
