UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by hosting providers inside their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is unsound and unable to support the appropriate functioning of the machines situated inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an efficient battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electrical power network and the web servers all of the time, so when the power stops, the UPS is already working, which prevents the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine that can provide the necessary power to keep the web servers up and running for a longer period of time. In case there is an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the primary power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Web Hosting
The 99.9% network and hosting server uptime warranty that we provide is, to some extent, a result of the electric power backup setup we have in each of the three data centers in which we provide web hosting packages - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you get a new account to develop or move your websites, it'll be created on an innovative cloud platform which consists of numerous clusters taking care of your content. Every web server in the particular cluster provides its own efficient enterprise-class UPS to keep it functioning no matter what, until a number of electrical power generators boot up and supply the required power for the entire data center to be operating for many hours. You won't notice anything even in case there is a disruption, as our backup units could power all of the devices and we won't need to restrict the quantity of working hosting servers or the network equipment which addresses the traffic to your websites.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a semi-dedicated server account from us, it'll be set up on a cutting-edge hosting platform in a data center with a superb infrastructure. The Chicago-based facility uses an individual UPS for each hosting server or network switch located there to make sure that the correct functioning of any piece of equipment shall not be interrupted until effective generators start providing the required electricity. The latter can power the entire data center for quite a while without the need to shut down any machines, so all the Internet sites hosted on our web servers will continue to work at maximum speed and with zero effect on their efficiency. These power backup options enable us to guarantee that a possible outage will never be a reason for your websites to go offline or to have reduced functionality.
