UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by website hosting service providers within their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unsound and unable to maintain the appropriate functioning of the machines situated within the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the servers constantly, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine that can supply the required energy to keep the 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.
