The UPS and the diesel generator are two devices for keeping a web server functional in case there are problems with the main power supply - an outage or unreliable current which cannot keep the web server functioning properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is oftentimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, essentially, an efficient battery that is attached to the web server and to the electricity network all of the time, so in the event of any blackout, it is already operating, that permits the web server to keep on working without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up a whole data center. It does take some time to start working and it's the UPS that provides that time. Those two power solutions are a requirement for any facility or hosting company that wants to avoid information loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electric power problem.
