UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery used to power your personal computer or a web server to prevent the loss of data if the main power supply fails for whatever reason or becomes unstable. 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 supply and to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of all the servers located there. As the UPS works constantly, it provides the required power for the servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is critical for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in the case of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it provides them with ample time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
