The UPS and the diesel generator are two instruments for keeping a server functioning in case there are problems with the main power source - a disruption or shaky current that can't keep the machine working properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is oftentimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, in simple terms, a powerful battery which is attached to the hosting server and to the electricity network all of the time, so in the case of any blackout, it is already working, that permits the hosting server to continue doing the job without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which can power up the whole data center. It needs some time to start working and it's the UPS which provides that time. These 2 power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or hosting company that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electrical power issue.
