UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by hosting providers in their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is unstable and unable to maintain the appropriate operation of the web servers situated within the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is a highly effective battery that works non-stop. It is connected to both the electrical power network and the web servers constantly, so anytime the power stops, the UPS is already functioning, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine which can deliver the required electric power to keep the web servers functioning for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS provides the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Hosting
The 99.9% network and server uptime guarantee that we offer you is, in part, a result of the electric power backup setup that we have in every of the three data centers where we offer cloud hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to create or move your Internet sites, it'll be set up on a progressive cloud platform which consists of several clusters taking care of your content. Each and every hosting server in the specific cluster has its own effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it working no matter what, until several electrical power generators boot up and give the required power for the whole data center to remain functional for several hours. You will not notice anything even when there's a disruption, since our backup units could power each of the devices and we won't need to restrict the total number of working web servers or the network equipment that manages the traffic to your websites.
