UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by website hosting companies in their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unstable and unable to sustain the proper running of the web servers located within the facility. UPS stands 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 all of the time, so if the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine which can provide the necessary energy to keep the machines up and running for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.
