UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by web hosting providers in their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to maintain the correct functioning of the servers situated in the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an efficient battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the web servers constantly, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine which can deliver the required electric power to keep the web servers functioning for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main source is restored.
