The UPS and the diesel generator are two means for keeping a server working if there are difficulties with the primary source - a disruption or unreliable current that can't keep the server functional, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it is sometimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, in simple terms, an effective battery that is attached to the hosting server and to the electric power network all the time, so in case of any disturbance, it's already working, which enables the web server to carry on running without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up the entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS which gives it that time. These two power solutions are absolutely essential for any facility or hosting company that wants to avoid data loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electric power issue.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Website Hosting
The 99.9% network and server uptime warranty which we provide you with is, partly, a result of the electric power backup setup we have in each of the three data centers in which we provide shared website hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to develop or move your sites, it'll be created on a cutting-edge cloud platform that consists of numerous clusters handling your content. Each web server inside the particular cluster has its own potent enterprise-class UPS to keep it functioning no matter what, until quite a few electric power generators boot up and supply the required power for the whole center to be working for many hours. You'll not notice anything even if there's an interruption, because our backup units will be able to power all of the devices and we will not have to restrict the number of working hosting servers or the network equipment which handles the traffic to your sites.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
The semi-dedicated server accounts which we provide you with are created inside a state-of-the-art data center in the downtown area of Chicago and its electric power backup system is amongst the reasons why we are able to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the machines that are part of our innovative web hosting platform and the network which handles all the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is attached to each server to keep it online until a variety of generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to supply electrical power for the entire center for several hours without having to minimize the power consumption or the productivity of any web server or network device, so even when there is an outage, all the sites hosted on our platform shall still be available without any disruptions and will operate at top speed.
