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