UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what exactly is their function and why are they available in data center facilities all around the world?
The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a server functional if there are issues with the primary power source - an outage or shaky current that can't keep the machine working properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is oftentimes called Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, basically, an effective battery which is attached to the web server and to the electricity network consistently, so in the case of any blackout, it is already functioning, which allows the server to keep on doing the job without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it's the UPS which provides this time. These two power solutions are fundamental for any facility or provider that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected power problem.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting
The 99.9% network and web server uptime guarantee which we provide is, somewhat, a result of the electric power backup setup we have in every of the 3 data centers in which we provide shared hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to develop or move your websites, it shall be set up on a modern cloud platform that consists of many clusters dealing with your content. Every single web server inside the selected cluster features its own highly effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until several electric power generators boot up and provide the required power for the entire data center to remain operating for many hours. You won't notice anything even in the event there is an outage, as our backup units could power each of the devices and we won't have to limit the amount of working servers or the network equipment which addresses the traffic to your sites.
