UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery which is used to power a personal computer or a server to prevent the loss of information if the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes risky. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to ensure the consistent running of all the web servers located there. Because the UPS runs at all times, it provides the necessary power for the web servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is critical for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the event of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it offers them ample time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Cloud Web Hosting

The 99.9% network and server uptime warranty that we provide you with is, to some extent, a result of the power backup setup which we have in each of the 3 data centers in which we provide cloud web hosting plans - in Chicago (USA), in Coventry (UK), and in Sydney (Australia). If you get a new account to build or move your Internet sites, it will be set up on a cutting-edge cloud platform which consists of many clusters handling your content. Each and every machine in the specific cluster offers its own potent enterprise-class UPS to keep it operational no matter what, until quite a few power generators boot up and provide the necessary power for the whole facility to stay operational for a lot of hours. You won't notice anything even when there's a disruption, because our backup units could power all the devices and we won't have to limit the total number of working hosting servers or the network equipment that deals with the traffic to your sites.

UPS & Diesel Back-up Generator in Semi-dedicated Servers

The semi-dedicated server accounts that we provide you with are created inside a state-of-the-art data center in downtown Chicago and its power backup system is one of the reasons why we can afford to guarantee a 99.9% uptime for both the hosting servers that are part of our sophisticated web hosting platform and the network that handles all of the traffic to and from them. An individual UPS device is connected to every single web server to keep it online until several generators kick in. The latter are effective enough to supply electricity for the whole center for a long time without having to minimize the power consumption or the functionality of any hosting server or network device, so even if there is an outage, all the websites hosted on our platform shall still be accessible without disturbances and will function at top speed.
