UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by web hosting service providers inside their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is shaky and unable to maintain the proper running of the servers based within the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the web servers consistently, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already working, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine which can provide the necessary electrical power to keep the machines functioning for a longer period of time. In case there is 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.

The Chicago-based data center uses a separate UPS for each and every web server or network switch located there to make certain that the ideal functioning of any piece of equipment won't be disturbed until efficient generators start supplying the required electricity. The latter will be able to power the whole facility for quite a long time without having to turn off any devices, so each of the sites hosted on our machines shall continue to work at optimum speed and with zero effect on their overall performance.
