UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It is a battery that is used to power a computer or a hosting server to prevent the loss of information when the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator is more or less self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to guarantee the continuous functioning of all of the machines located there. Since the UPS works at all times, it offers the necessary power for the servers to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is crucial for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in case there is a power surge or outage, since it gives them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
