The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 instruments for keeping a server functional in case there are difficulties with the primary power supply - an interruption or shaky current which cannot keep the server working properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is sometimes called Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, in essence, an efficient battery that's connected to the server and to the electric power network consistently, so in the case of any disturbance, it is already working, that permits the web server to carry on working without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up a whole data center. It needs some time to begin working and it's the UPS which provides that time. Those two power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or service provider that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electrical power issue.
