UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That is a battery that is used to power a PC or a hosting server to prevent the loss of information in case the main power source fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator practically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to ensure the consistent running of all of the servers located there. Due to the fact that the UPS operates at all times, it provides the desired power for the machines to remain up and running until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is vital for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the case of a power surge or outage, since it provides them with enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
