The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 means for keeping a server functioning in case there are difficulties with the main power source - an outage or unreliable current that cannot keep the hosting server working properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is oftentimes called Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, in simple terms, a highly effective battery that is connected to the web server and to the power network all the time, so if there is any blackout, it is already working, which enables the server to carry on operating without losing any data. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up a whole data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS which provides this time. Those 2 power solutions are an absolute necessity for any facility or service provider that wants to stop information loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electric power problem.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Shared Hosting
The 99.9% network and server uptime guarantee which we provide is, partly, a result of the power backup setup which we have in each of the three data centers in which we provide shared hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to create or move your Internet sites, it'll be created on a modern cloud platform that consists of several clusters handling your content. Every web server in the specific cluster offers its own highly effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until a number of electrical power generators boot up and give the required power for the whole facility to remain functional for many hours. You will not notice anything even in case there's an outage, due to the fact that our backup units will be able to power all the devices and we will not need to limit the number of working hosting servers or the network equipment which addresses the traffic to your Internet sites.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server account from us, it shall be created on a cutting-edge hosting platform within a data center with a fantastic infrastructure. The Chicago-based center uses an individual UPS for every web server or network switch located there to make certain that the ideal functioning of any device shall not be interrupted until efficient generators start providing the required electricity. The latter will power the whole facility for a very long time without having to shut down any equipment, so all of the sites hosted on our web servers shall continue to function at max speed and with no effect on their capabilities. These electrical power backup options allow us to ensure that any outage will never be a reason for your websites to go offline or to have reduced functionality.
