UPSs and diesel generators are two backup systems that are kept by hosting service providers within their data centers in the event there are interruptions in the main power supply or the current is shaky and unable to sustain the proper running of the servers located within the facility. UPS refers to Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source and it's an effective battery which works non-stop. It is connected to both the electric power network and the servers at all times, so in case 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 deliver the necessary energy to keep the machines up and running for a longer period of time. In case of an outage, the UPS provides the necessary time for the diesel generator to start and then to take over until the main power supply is restored.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Hosting
We offer you hosting in 3 of the largest sized data centers worldwide. They are located in the United States, in the United kingdom and in Australia. Considering that data integrity and hosting server uptime are our priorities, all three facilities have several backup systems against electric power outages. A number of diesel generators can keep the web servers working for hours or even for a few days and every machine that's part of our cutting-edge cloud platform provides its own enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational until the generators begin working. This setup is one of the reasons why we're able to guarantee a 99.9% hosting server and network uptime, so if you host your websites inside a shared account with our company, you will take advantage of a fast and remarkable service without worrying about any disturbances due to electrical power outages.
UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers
The semi-dedicated server accounts which we offer are created inside a state-of-the-art data center in downtown Chicago and its electrical power backup system is among the reasons why we are able to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the web servers which are part of our highly developed web hosting platform and the network which addresses all the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS device is connected to every hosting server to keep it online until several generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to deliver electrical power for the entire facility for several hours without the need to minimize the power consumption or the productivity of any server or network device, so even if there is an outage, all of the Internet sites hosted on our platform will still be accessible without disturbances and will operate at top speed.
