The UPS and the diesel generator are two means for keeping a web server functional if there are issues with the primary source - a disruption or unstable current that can't keep the server functional, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is oftentimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, in simple terms, an efficient battery that is connected to the hosting server and to the electricity network constantly, so in case of any blackout, it's already working, which enables the server to keep on doing the job without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which can power up a whole data center. It does take some time to start working and it is the UPS that provides this time. Those 2 power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or service provider that wants to avoid data loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected power problem.
