UPSs and diesel generators are 2 backup systems which are kept by website hosting service providers in their data centers in the event that there are interruptions in the primary power supply or the current is shaky and unable to sustain the proper functioning of the servers located inside the facility. UPS is short for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery which works non-stop. It's connected to both the electrical power network and the web servers consistently, so when the power stops, the UPS is already working, which helps prevent the machines from going down even for a second. The diesel generator is certainly an engine that can provide the necessary electrical power to keep the servers functioning for a longer period of time. If there is an outage, the UPS gives the needed time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main source is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Hosting
The 99.9% network and server uptime guarantee which we offer you is, in part, a result of the electrical power backup setup which we have in every of the 3 data centers in which we offer cloud hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you purchase a new account to develop or move your websites, it'll be set up on an innovative cloud platform that consists of numerous clusters dealing with your content. Each server inside the specific cluster features its own potent enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until quite a few electric power generators boot up and supply the required power for the whole center to stay operating for a lot of hours. You will not notice anything even in case there is an interruption, because our backup units will be able to power all of the devices and we shall not have to limit the amount of working web servers or the network equipment which handles the traffic to your sites.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
The semi-dedicated server accounts we offer are created within a state-of-the-art data center in downtown Chicago and its electric power backup system is one of the reasons why we are able to afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the hosting servers that are part of our highly developed website hosting platform and the network that addresses all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS unit is attached to each and every hosting server to keep it online until several generators kick in. The latter are potent enough to provide electric power for the whole facility for many hours without having to minimize the power consumption or the overall performance of any server or network device, so even if there is an interruption, all the Internet sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without any disruptions and will function at top speed.
