The UPS and the diesel generator are 2 means for keeping a server functional if there are problems with the main power supply - an outage or unstable current which cannot keep the hosting server functioning properly, for example. UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is oftentimes called Uninterruptible Power Source too. The UPS is, basically, a powerful battery that's attached to the hosting server and to the electricity network all of the time, so if there is any disturbance, it's already functioning, which enables the server to continue working without losing any info. The diesel generator is an engine that can power up a whole data center. It needs some time to start working and it's the UPS that provides that time. These 2 power solutions are a necessity for any facility or hosting company that wants to prevent info loss and hardware damage caused by an unexpected electric power problem.
