UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what exactly is their function and why are they available in data centers worldwide?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery which is used to power some type of computer or a hosting server to prevent the loss of information if the main power supply fails for some reason or becomes unstable. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the continuous running of all of the servers located there. Since the UPS works at all times, it provides the necessary power for the web servers to remain up and running until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is critical for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in the case of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it gives them plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
