UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. That is a battery which is used to power your personal computer or a web server to avoid the loss of info when the main source of energy fails for some reason or becomes unsafe. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to guarantee the uninterrupted running of all of the machines located there. Due to the fact that the UPS runs at all times, it provides the necessary power for the servers to remain working until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is essential for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in the event of a power surge or outage, as it offers them enough time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
