The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a server functioning if there are difficulties with the main power supply - an outage or unstable current which cannot keep the machine functional, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it can often be referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, in essence, an efficient battery that's attached to the machine and to the electric power network at all times, so in the case of any disruption, it is already functioning, that permits the web server to carry on operating without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine which can power up an entire data center. It does take some time to begin working and it is the UPS that gives it this time. These two power solutions are fundamental for any facility or service provider that wants to avoid info loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected power issue.
