The UPS and the diesel generator are two instruments for keeping a server functional in case there are issues with the primary source - an outage or shaky current that can't keep the hosting server functioning properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is frequently referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, basically, a highly effective battery that's connected to the machine and to the power network all of the time, so in case there is any disruption, it is already operating, that permits the server to keep on doing the job without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS that gives it that time. These two power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or provider that wants to avoid data loss and hardware damage as a result of an unexpected electrical power issue.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Web Hosting
The 99.9% network and web server uptime guarantee that we offer is, in part, a result of the power backup setup we have in each of the 3 data centers in which we offer web hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you get a new account to build or move your Internet sites, it shall be created on a progressive cloud platform that consists of numerous clusters taking care of your content. Each and every machine inside the selected cluster offers its own highly effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it functioning no matter what, until a lot of electrical power generators boot up and give the required power for the entire data center to be working for several hours. You will not notice anything even in case there's a disruption, because our backup units will power each of the devices and we shall not have to reduce the amount of working web servers or the network equipment that addresses the traffic to your websites.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The semi-dedicated server accounts we offer are created inside a state-of-the-art data center in downtown Chicago and its electrical power backup system is among the reasons why we can afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the web servers which are part of our sophisticated hosting platform and the network that addresses all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is attached to each and every machine to keep it online until a number of generators kick in. The latter are powerful enough to offer electric power for the whole center for many hours without having to limit the power consumption or the overall performance of any hosting server or network device, so even in the event that there is an interruption, all of the Internet sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without disruptions and will perform at top speed.
