UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What exactly is a diesel backup generator? For what reason are they found in each and every 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 personal computer or a hosting server in order to avoid the loss of info in case the main power source fails for some reason or becomes risky. A diesel generator practically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to ensure the constant operation of all of the web servers located there. Since the UPS operates all the time, it provides the necessary power for the web servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is vital for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in the event of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it gives them lots of time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
