UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What is a diesel backup generator? Why exactly are they present in each and every data center facility?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It is a battery that is used to power a computer or a web server to avoid the loss of data if the main power supply fails for some reason or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to ensure the continuous functioning of all the web servers located there. Because the UPS operates at all times, it offers the desired power for the web servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is crucial for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in case of a power surge or outage, as it provides them with plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
