UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery which is used to power a PC or a web server in order to avoid the loss of information when the main source of energy fails for some reason or becomes risky. 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 uninterrupted running of all the machines located there. As the UPS works at all times, it provides the necessary power for the machines to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is vital for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in the case of a power surge or outage, as it gives them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
