UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
What is a UPS unit? What exactly is a diesel backup generator? Why are they found in each and every data center facility?
The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 devices for keeping a web server operational if there are troubles with the primary source - an outage or shaky current which cannot keep the machine functioning properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it can often be called Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, in simple terms, a powerful battery that is attached to the machine and to the electric power network at all times, so if there is any blackout, it is already operating, that permits the hosting server to continue running without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up the whole data center. It needs some time to start working and it is the UPS that provides this time. These two power solutions are absolutely essential for any facility or service provider that wants to avoid info loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected power issue.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Web Hosting
The 99.9% network and server uptime guarantee that we offer is, to some extent, a result of the electric power backup setup that we have in every of the three data centers where we provide cloud web hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you get a new account to develop or move your Internet sites, it'll be created on a progressive cloud platform which consists of several clusters dealing with your content. Each web server in the selected cluster offers its own effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it working no matter what, until a number of power generators boot up and supply the necessary power for the whole data center to remain operating for many hours. You will not notice anything even when there is a disruption, since our backup units can power all the devices and we will not have to reduce the number of working web servers or the network equipment that handles the traffic to your websites.
