The UPS and the diesel generator are two instruments for keeping a server operational if there are problems with the main power supply - an outage or shaky current that can't keep the server functional, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, in essence, a powerful battery that's connected to the hosting server and to the power network at all times, so if there is any disturbance, it is already operating, that permits the web server to continue doing the job without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the whole data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS which provides this time. These two power solutions are a necessity for any facility or provider that wants to avoid info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electrical power issue.
