UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. This is a battery that is used to power some type of computer or a hosting server in order to avoid the loss of info in case the main source of energy fails for reasons unknown or becomes risky. 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 power and to ensure the consistent operation of all the machines located there. Because the UPS runs all the time, it provides the necessary power for the servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using such a backup is a must for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the event of a power surge or outage, because it offers them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
