UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That is a battery used to power your personal computer or a web server to prevent the loss of info when the main power source 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 power and to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of all the machines located there. Since the UPS works constantly, it offers the necessary power for the web servers to remain functioning until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is critical for any data center or hosting company that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in case of a power surge or outage, since it provides them with enough time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
