The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a server operational in case there are problems with the primary power supply - an interruption or unreliable current that cannot keep the web server functional, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, in simple terms, a powerful battery that's connected to the machine and to the electricity network consistently, so in the event of any blackout, it is already functioning, which enables the hosting server to keep on operating without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up an entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it's the UPS that provides this time. These two power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or provider that wants to avoid info loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected electric power issue.
