UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It is a battery used to power a PC or a server in order to avoid the loss of info if the main power supply fails for whatever reason or becomes risky. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to guarantee the uninterrupted operation of all of the web servers located there.

Using such a backup is vital for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and information intact in case of a power surge or outage, since it offers them plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
