UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery which is used to power a PC or a hosting server in order to avoid the loss of information in case the main power source fails for reasons unknown or becomes risky. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to guarantee the consistent operation of all the web servers located there. Due to the fact that the UPS works all the time, it provides the desired power for the web servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is critical for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in case there is a power surge or outage, as it provides them with enough time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
