The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 devices for keeping a web server working if there are troubles with the primary power supply - an interruption or unstable current which cannot keep the machine functioning properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, basically, a powerful battery that is connected to the server and to the electricity network consistently, so in case of any disruption, it is already operating, which allows the server to keep on operating without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up an entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it's the UPS that provides that time. These 2 power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or hosting company that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electrical power issue.
