UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems which are kept by website hosting providers in their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the primary power source or the current is shaky and unable to support the appropriate running of the servers located within the facility. UPS stands for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it is an efficient battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the power network and the web servers constantly, so if the power stops, the UPS is already up and running, which prevents the web servers from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is literally an engine that can give you the needed power to keep the web servers working for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power source is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Hosting

The 99.9% network and web server uptime guarantee which we provide you with is, in part, a result of the electrical power backup setup that we have in each of the 3 data centers in which we offer cloud hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you acquire a new account to build or move your sites, it'll be set up on a progressive cloud platform which consists of numerous clusters controlling your content. Every machine within the specific cluster has its own effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it up and running no matter what, until several electrical power generators boot up and supply the required power for the whole facility to be functional for many hours. You will not notice anything even if there's an outage, since our backup units will power all the devices and we will not need to restrict the quantity of working servers or the network equipment which addresses the traffic to your Internet sites.
