UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What is a diesel backup generator? For what reason are they found in every single data center?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That is a battery that is used to power a computer or a web server to prevent the loss of information when the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes risky. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to ensure the continuous functioning of all the servers located there. Since the UPS runs all the time, it provides the desired power for the machines to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is essential for any data center or web hosting 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 problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
