UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator

What is a UPS unit? What is a diesel backup generator? Why exactly are they present in each and every data center?

The UPS and the diesel generator are two means for keeping a web server working if there are difficulties with the primary power source - an outage or unreliable current that cannot keep the server working correctly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, essentially, a powerful battery which is connected to the server and to the power network at all times, so in case of any disruption, it is already functioning, which enables the server to carry on operating without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up a whole data center. It does take some time to begin working and it is the UPS that gives it this time. These 2 power solutions are a requirement for any facility or provider that wants to prevent data loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electric power problem.
