UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That's a battery used to power a personal computer or a server to prevent the loss of data if the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator pretty much 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 continuous running of all the web servers located there. Because the UPS operates constantly, it provides the necessary power for the servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is critical for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in case of a power surge or outage, since it provides them with enough time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
