UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by web hosting service providers inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to support the appropriate operation of the servers situated within the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the servers at all times, so when the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can provide you with the needed energy to keep the web servers working for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power source is restored.
