UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery that is used to power your personal computer or a web server in order to avoid the loss of data in case the main power source fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of all the machines located there. Due to the fact that the UPS works all the time, it provides the required power for the web servers to remain operational 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, because it gives them enough time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
