The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a web server operational in case there are problems with the primary power supply - an outage or unreliable current that can't keep the server functional, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, in simple terms, an efficient battery that's attached to the web server and to the power network consistently, so in the event of any interruption, it is already functioning, which allows the hosting server to keep on running without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the whole data center. It does take some time to begin working and it's the UPS which gives it that time. These 2 power solutions are a requirement for any facility or service provider that wants to stop data loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected electric power problem.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting
We offer shared hosting plans in 3 of the major data centers throughout the world. They are based in the United States, in the UK and in Australia. Due to the fact that data safety and web server uptime are our priorities, the 3 facilities have a number of backup systems against electric power outages. A few diesel generators can keep the hosting servers up and running for hours or even for several days and every machine which is part of our cutting-edge cloud platform has its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it functional until the generators begin working. This setup is one of the reasons why we can guarantee a 99.9% web server and network uptime, so if you host your sites within a shared account with us, you will take advantage of a fast and flawless service without having to worry about any disruptions due to power outages.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you order a semi-dedicated server account from our company, it shall be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform within a data center with an excellent infrastructure. The Chicago-based facility uses a different UPS for every single server or network switch located there to ensure that the proper functioning of any device won't be interrupted until efficient generators start providing the needed electricity. The latter can power the whole data center for quite a long time without having to shut down any devices, so each of the websites hosted on our machines will continue to operate at max speed and with no effect on their functionality. These power backup options permit us to ensure that a potential outage will never be a reason for your sites to go offline or to have lowered functionality.
