UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by web hosting service providers within their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is shaky and unable to sustain the proper functioning of the web servers situated within the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the servers all of the time, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine that can provide you with the needed electric power to keep the web servers working for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.
