UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what precisely is their function and why are they available in data centers everywhere around the world?

UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by web hosting providers in their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power source or the current is unstable and unable to support the appropriate running of the machines located in the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the power network and the web servers consistently, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which prevents the servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine which can provide the necessary power to keep the machines functioning for a longer period of time. In the event of an outage, the UPS provides the required time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary source is restored.
