The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 devices for keeping a server functional in case there are problems with the main source - a disruption or unreliable current that can't keep the hosting server functioning properly, for instance. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is oftentimes referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, in essence, an efficient battery that is connected to the server and to the power network constantly, so in the case of any disruption, it's already working, which enables the server to continue operating without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine which will power up an entire data center. It needs some time to start working and it's the UPS that gives it this time. Those two power solutions are a necessity for any facility or provider that wants to avoid information loss and hardware damage as a consequence of an unexpected power problem.
