The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 means for keeping a server operational if there are difficulties with the main power source - an interruption or unreliable current that can't keep the web server functioning properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is frequently called Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, essentially, a powerful battery which is connected to the machine and to the electric power network all the time, so in the event of any interruption, it is already operating, which allows the server to continue doing the job without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which can power up the whole data center. It needs some time to start working and it's the UPS which gives it that time. Those 2 power solutions are absolutely essential for any facility or service provider that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected electric power problem.
