UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What's a UPS unit? What exactly is a diesel backup generator? For what reason are they found in every data center facility?
UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by hosting providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unsound and unable to sustain the correct operation of the web servers located inside the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the web servers all of the time, so in case the power stops, the UPS is already working, which helps prevent the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide the necessary electrical power to keep the servers up and running for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Hosting
The 99.9% network and hosting server uptime guarantee that we offer you is, in part, a result of the electric power backup setup that we have in each of the three data centers where we provide hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in London (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you get a new account to develop or move your Internet sites, it will be set up on an innovative cloud platform which consists of many clusters controlling your content. Each and every web server in the particular cluster offers its own highly effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it up and running no matter what, until several power generators boot up and supply the necessary power for the whole center to stay working for a lot of hours. You will not notice anything even when there's an outage, because our backup units could power each of the devices and we won't have to restrict the amount of working hosting servers or the network equipment that handles the traffic to your Internet sites.
