UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It is a battery which is used to power a computer or a web server in order to avoid the loss of data when the main power supply fails for whatever reason or becomes risky. A diesel generator is more or less 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 uninterrupted running of all the machines located there. Due to the fact that the UPS works constantly, it offers the desired power for the machines to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is critical for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in the case of a power surge or outage, because it provides them with lots of time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
