The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 instruments for keeping a web server functioning if there are problems with the main power supply - a disruption or unstable current that can't keep the machine working correctly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it can often be called Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, in essence, a powerful battery which is attached to the hosting server and to the electricity network consistently, so in the event of any interruption, it's already working, which allows the server to carry on operating without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up the entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS that gives it this time. These 2 power solutions are fundamental for any facility or service provider that wants to avoid info loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electric power issue.
