UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator
Discover more details on UPSs & diesel backup generators and learn why every hosting data center features them.
UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by hosting service providers inside their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is shaky and unable to maintain the appropriate running of the servers situated inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an effective battery that works non-stop. It's connected to both the electric power network and the web servers constantly, so if the power stops, the UPS is already operational, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is definitely an engine that can supply the necessary energy to keep the web servers operational for a longer period of time. In the case of an outage, the UPS gives the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Website Hosting
The 99.9% network and hosting server uptime warranty that we offer is, partly, a result of the electric power backup setup that we have in each of the 3 data centers where we offer cloud website hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in London (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to build or move your websites, it will be set up on an innovative cloud platform which consists of a number of clusters taking care of your content. Each and every hosting server within the specific cluster offers its own highly effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until several electric power generators boot up and supply the necessary power for the entire facility to be operating for many hours. You will not notice anything even in the event there's a disruption, because our backup units can easily power all the devices and we won't need to limit the total number of working servers or the network equipment that deals with the traffic to your Internet sites.
