UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems that are kept by hosting companies in their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is shaky and unable to maintain the appropriate running of the machines located inside the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's a highly effective battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the web servers constantly, so if the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can give you the required energy to keep the servers up and running for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.
