UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What is a diesel backup generator? Why exactly are they present in every single data center facility?
UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by hosting service providers inside their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the appropriate functioning of the machines situated inside the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the servers all of the time, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can deliver the needed electrical power to keep the machines operational for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS gives the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.
