UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It is a battery used to power a personal computer or a hosting server in order to avoid the loss of info in case the main power supply fails for some reason or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the consistent operation of all the web servers located there. Since the UPS runs all the time, it offers the necessary power for the web servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is critical for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in case there is a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it offers them plenty of time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
