UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by hosting providers within their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is unsound and unable to sustain the appropriate running of the servers based within the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a powerful battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the servers consistently, so if the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine which can provide the required electrical power to keep the servers working for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main source is restored.
