UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by hosting providers in their data centers in case there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the correct functioning of the servers situated within the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a powerful battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the servers all of the time, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide the needed power to keep the machines operational for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS provides the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power source is restored.
