The UPS and the diesel generator are two means for keeping a server functional in case there are issues with the main power source - an outage or unstable current that can't keep the server working correctly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, even though it can often be called Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, basically, a highly effective battery which is connected to the server and to the electric power network all of the time, so in case there is any interruption, it's already functioning, which allows the hosting server to carry on operating without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up an entire data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS which gives it this time. Those 2 power solutions are a necessity for any facility or service provider that wants to stop data loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electrical power problem.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Web Hosting
If you purchase a web hosting plan from our company, you won't ever have to worry about potential electrical power failures resulting in the loss of important data, even if you host extremely important websites on our servers. All of the machines which are part of our hi-tech cluster platform use effective UPSs that will keep them functioning for a long period of time - more than sufficient for several diesel generators to begin working and take over. The latter are powerful enough to keep each of the 3 facilities entirely functional for several hours and without any limitations, so your websites will continue to function correctly and without any delays or restrictions. The electrical power backup is one of the elements behind our 99.9% service uptime guarantee.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The semi-dedicated server accounts we provide you with are created within a state-of-the-art data center in the downtown area of Chicago and its electrical power backup system is amongst the reasons why we are able to afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the machines which are part of our highly developed website hosting platform and the network that manages all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS device is connected to every machine to keep it online until numerous generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to supply electric power for the entire center for several hours without having to reduce the power consumption or the functionality of any server or network device, so even in the event that there is a blackout, all of the sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without any disturbances and will operate at top speed.
