UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what exactly is their job and why are they available in data centers around the world?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery which is used to power some type of computer or a server to prevent the loss of data if the main source of energy fails for some reason or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to guarantee the uninterrupted running of all of the servers located there. Since the UPS works at all times, it provides the required power for the web servers to remain up and running until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is crucial for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in case there is a power surge or outage, because it gives them plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
