UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what exactly is their role and why are they available in data centers worldwide?
The UPS and the diesel generator are two instruments for keeping a web server working in case there are issues with the primary source - an interruption or shaky current that cannot keep the machine working properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is sometimes called Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, in simple terms, an effective battery which is attached to the web server and to the electric power network at all times, so in case of any interruption, it is already working, that permits the server to keep on working without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up the whole data center. It needs some time to begin working and it's the UPS which gives it that time. These 2 power solutions are fundamental for any facility or service provider that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electrical power issue.
