UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by website hosting companies inside their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the appropriate operation of the web servers based within the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the servers at all times, so if the power stops, the UPS is already working, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can provide you with the required power to keep the servers operational 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 source is restored.
