UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator - what precisely is their role and why are they available in data center facilities around the world?
The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a web server functioning if there are problems with the main power source - a disruption or unstable current that cannot keep the hosting server working properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is oftentimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, in simple terms, a highly effective battery that is attached to the server and to the electricity network all the time, so in the case of any interruption, it's already functioning, which enables the server to carry on working without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up an entire data center. It needs some time to start working and it is the UPS that provides that time. Those 2 power solutions are fundamental for any facility or provider that wants to stop information loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electrical power issue.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting
If you host your sites in a shared hosting account with us, you can forget about problems caused by electrical power failures, because, unlike all kinds of other providers, we don't keep numerous hosting servers attached to only one UPS. Instead, each and every web server that is part of our avant-garde cloud platform comes with its own UPS device that can easily keep it operational for hours on end. Furthermore, our data centers in the U.S., in the United Kingdom and in Australia have many different generators which boot up for minutes and that will be able to power all the hosting servers for an extensive length of time. This way, the features of your sites or their loading speed will not be affected, so you may enjoy an uninterrupted high-quality web hosting service at all times.
