UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What exactly is a diesel backup generator? Why are they present in every data center?
The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 instruments for keeping a server operational if there are issues with the main source - an outage or unreliable current that can't keep the machine working correctly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it can often be referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, in simple terms, a powerful battery that is attached to the server and to the electricity network consistently, so in the event of any disturbance, it is already working, which allows the web server to continue running without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up an entire data center. It does take some time to start working and it is the UPS which gives it that time. These 2 power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or service provider that wants to stop info loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected power issue.
