UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by hosting service providers inside their data centers in case there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is shaky and unable to maintain the correct functioning of the servers located in the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a powerful battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the servers at all times, so when the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is an engine that can give you the required electric power to keep the machines operational for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS gives the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.
