UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It is a battery used to power your personal computer or a hosting server to avoid the loss of data when the main power supply fails for some reason or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to ensure the continuous functioning of all of the machines located there. Because the UPS works constantly, it offers the desired power for the web servers to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is a must for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in the case of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it gives them ample time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Website Hosting
The 99.9% network and server uptime guarantee which we provide is, to some extent, a result of the power backup setup we have in each of the 3 data centers in which we offer cloud website hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you obtain a new account to develop or move your sites, it will be created on a progressive cloud platform that consists of several clusters taking care of your content. Every machine within the particular cluster has its own effective enterprise-class UPS to keep it functioning no matter what, until a number of electric power generators boot up and give the necessary power for the whole data center to be operating for many hours. You will not notice anything even in case there is an outage, because our backup units can easily power all of the devices and we will not need to reduce the total number of working hosting servers or the network equipment that addresses the traffic to your websites.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
We've taken all measures to avoid any service disruptions caused by a power failure, so if you use a semi-dedicated server account for your Internet sites, you will enjoy a fast and stable web hosting service consistently. Each and every web server that's part of our customized platform has an individual UPS to keep it working until a few potent enterprise-class diesel generators take over to produce the necessary electricity for all the units for so long as required. The latter are powerful enough to keep everything functioning at maximum capacity, so we'll not have to shut down any hosting servers or to use fewer network devices, which could reduce the loading speed of your Internet sites or affect their performance. This top-notch power setup is one of the factors behind our 99.9% web server and network uptime guarantee, which is valid for all semi-dedicated packages that we are offering you.
