UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by website hosting companies inside their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the correct running of the web servers based inside the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the servers at all times, so when the power stops, the UPS is already working, which helps prevent the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine that can deliver the required power to keep the servers up and running for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS gives the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power source is restored.
