The UPS and the diesel generator are two instruments for keeping a server working if there are issues with the primary source - an outage or unreliable current which cannot keep the hosting server functional, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, though it is frequently referred to as Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, essentially, a powerful battery that's attached to the hosting server and to the electricity network all of the time, so in case of any blackout, it is already operating, that permits the web server to continue working without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up the whole data center. It needs some time to start working and it's the UPS that gives it that time. Those two power solutions are a requirement for any facility or hosting company that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electric power problem.
