The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 devices for keeping a web server functional in case there are problems with the primary power source - an outage or unstable current that cannot keep the machine working correctly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is oftentimes called Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, essentially, a powerful battery that is connected to the machine and to the electricity network constantly, so in case there is any disruption, it's already functioning, that permits the server to carry on running without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the whole data center. It does take some time to begin working and it's the UPS that provides that time. These 2 power solutions are a requirement for any facility or service provider that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected electric power issue.
