UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what precisely is their role and why are they available in data centers worldwide?
UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery that is used to power a computer or a server to prevent the loss of data in case the main power source fails for whatever reason or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator practically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to guarantee the continuous running of all the servers located there. Since the UPS runs constantly, it provides the necessary power for the machines to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is critical for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the event of a power surge or outage, as it offers them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
