UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What's a UPS unit? What precisely a diesel backup generator? Why are they present in every single data center facility?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery which is used to power a PC or a server to prevent the loss of information when the main source of energy fails for whatever reason or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to guarantee the continuous running of all of the machines located there. As the UPS operates all the time, it offers the necessary power for the machines to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is a must for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in the event of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it provides them with enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
