UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery used to power a personal computer or a web server to avoid the loss of info in case the main source of energy fails for whatever reason 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 operation of all of the machines located there.

Using this kind of a backup is vital for any data center or web hosting provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in the case of a power surge or outage, since it provides them with ample time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
