The UPS and the diesel generator are two means for keeping a server functioning if there are issues with the primary power supply - an outage or unstable current that cannot keep the web server working properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it can often be called Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, in essence, a highly effective battery which is connected to the web server and to the power network consistently, so in case there is any blackout, it's already functioning, which enables the hosting server to continue working without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up the entire data center. It does take some time to start working and it's the UPS which gives it that time. Those two power solutions are a necessity for any facility or provider that wants to stop information loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected power problem.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Web Hosting
The 99.9% network and web server uptime guarantee which we provide is, to some extent, a result of the electric power backup setup that we have in every of the three data centers where we provide cloud web hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you purchase a new account to build or move your websites, it'll be set up on a cutting-edge cloud platform that consists of several clusters dealing with your content. Every machine within the selected cluster offers its own potent enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until a number of electric power generators boot up and provide the necessary power for the whole facility to be operating for several hours. You won't notice anything even when there's an interruption, as our backup units will be able to power all of the devices and we won't need to limit the total number of working servers or the network equipment which handles the traffic to your sites.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from us, it shall be set up on a cutting-edge hosting platform in a data center with a superb infrastructure. The Chicago-based data center uses an independent UPS for each and every web server or network switch located there to make certain that the proper functioning of any unit won't be interrupted until powerful generators start providing the necessary electrical power. The latter are able to power the entire center for a very long time without having to turn off any machines, so all of the sites hosted on our servers shall continue to operate at top speed and with no effect on their functionality. These electrical power backup options permit us to ensure that any outage will never be a reason for your sites to go offline or to have lowered functionality.
