The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 instruments for keeping a server functional in case there are problems with the main power supply - an outage or unstable current that cannot keep the web server working correctly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is oftentimes called Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, essentially, an efficient battery that is connected to the server and to the electricity network constantly, so in case of any interruption, it is already functioning, which enables the web server to keep on doing the job without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the whole data center. It needs some time to start working and it's the UPS that provides this time. Those 2 power solutions are a necessity for any facility or hosting company that wants to stop information loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electric power problem.
