UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What is a diesel backup generator? Why exactly are they found in each and every data center facility?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery that is used to power some type of computer or a server to avoid the loss of information in case the main power source fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the uninterrupted operation of all the servers located there. Due to the fact that the UPS works at all times, it provides the necessary power for the machines to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is critical for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the case of a power surge or outage, since it offers them plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
