UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery used to power a computer or a server to prevent the loss of data when the main power source fails for whatever reason or becomes unstable. A diesel generator practically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the constant operation of all the servers located there. Because the UPS operates constantly, it provides the necessary power for the web servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is critical for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in the case of a power surge or outage, as it offers them lots of time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
