UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It is a battery that is used to power some type of computer or a server in order to avoid the loss of information if the main power source fails for some reason or becomes unstable. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to ensure the uninterrupted operation of all the web servers located there. Because the UPS works at all times, it offers the required power for the machines to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is essential for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in case of a power surge or outage, because it offers them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
