UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery used to power a PC or a server to avoid the loss of data in case the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to guarantee the consistent operation of all of the servers located there. Since the UPS runs constantly, it offers the necessary power for the web servers to remain up and running until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is critical for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in case of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it provides them with lots of time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
