UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What's a UPS unit? What precisely a diesel backup generator? Why are they present in each and every data center facility?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery which is used to power a computer or a web server to avoid the loss of information if the main power supply fails for some reason or becomes unstable. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to ensure the constant functioning of all the machines located there. As the UPS works constantly, it offers the required power for the machines to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is crucial for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the case of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it offers them plenty of time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
