UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by web hosting service providers in their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is shaky and unable to maintain the proper running of the servers situated inside the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a powerful battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the web servers consistently, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine that can provide the necessary power to keep the web servers operational 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.
