UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery which is used to power a computer or a hosting server in order to avoid the loss of info if the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power and to guarantee the continuous functioning of all of the machines located there. Due to the fact that the UPS runs all the time, it offers the necessary power for the web servers to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this type of a backup is critical for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in case of a power surge or outage, since it offers them ample time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
