The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 devices for keeping a web server functioning in case there are troubles with the primary power source - a disruption or unreliable current which cannot keep the hosting server working properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it can often be referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, basically, a powerful battery which is connected to the server and to the electricity network consistently, so in case there is any interruption, it is already operating, that permits the hosting server to keep on doing the job without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up the whole data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS that gives it that time. These two power solutions are a necessity for any facility or hosting company that wants to stop info loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected power problem.
