UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by web hosting service providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unsound and unable to maintain the proper running of the web servers based inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the web servers all of the time, so when the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine that can deliver the needed electrical power to keep the servers operational for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.
