UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery used to power a personal computer or a web server to avoid the loss of info in case the main source of energy fails for reasons unknown or becomes unsafe. 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 guarantee the consistent functioning of all the machines located there. Because the UPS works all the time, it offers the desired power for the machines to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is a must for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in case of a power surge or outage, because it gives them lots of time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
