The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 devices for keeping a web server working in case there are problems with the primary power source - an outage or unstable current which cannot keep the machine working correctly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is frequently called Uninterruptible Power Source also. The UPS is, basically, an effective battery that's connected to the machine and to the power network all of the time, so in the case of any disruption, it is already operating, that permits the web server to keep on doing the job without losing any information. The diesel generator is an engine that will power up the whole data center. It needs some time to begin working and it is the UPS which gives it that time. Those 2 power solutions are absolutely essential for any facility or service provider that wants to stop information loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected electric power problem.
