UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery that is used to power a personal computer or a web server in order to avoid the loss of information if the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes risky. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to ensure the constant operation of all of the web servers located there. Since the UPS operates at all times, it provides the necessary power for the web servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is vital 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 provides them with plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
