UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery used to power a computer or a web server in order to avoid the loss of data in case the main power source fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the continuous functioning of all of the web servers located there. Because the UPS runs all the time, it provides the required power for the servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is critical for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the event of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it gives them enough time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Hosting
If you host your websites within a hosting account with our company, you can forget about troubles caused by electrical power failures, due to the fact that, in contrast to many other providers, we don't keep several web servers attached to a single UPS. Alternatively, every single hosting server which is part of our avant-garde cloud platform features its own UPS device that can keep it up and running for hours on end. In addition, our data centers in the United States, in the United Kingdom and in Australia have many different generators which boot up for minutes and that can easily power each of the web servers for an extensive amount of time. In this way, the functionality of your sites or their loading speed won't be affected, so you can enjoy an uninterrupted high-quality service all of the time.
