UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery used to power your personal computer or a web server in order to avoid the loss of information if the main power source fails for some reason or becomes risky. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to ensure the uninterrupted running of all the machines located there. Because the UPS operates at all times, it offers the desired power for the web servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is critical for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in case there is a power surge or outage, because it provides them with ample time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
