UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That is a battery used to power a personal computer or a hosting server in order to avoid the loss of data in case the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to ensure the continuous operation of all the machines located there. Since the UPS runs constantly, it provides the necessary power for the servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is vital for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in case of a power surge or outage, as it provides them with ample time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
