UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by hosting providers in their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is shaky and unable to maintain the correct operation of the machines based in the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a highly effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the servers consistently, so when the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can give you the necessary power to keep the machines up and running for a longer period of time. In the case of an outage, the UPS gives the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.
