UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery that is used to power your personal computer or a web server to prevent the loss of info in case the main power supply fails for reasons unknown or becomes unstable. A diesel generator pretty much self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are widely-used as a backup in data centers to back up the main power source and to guarantee the continuous operation of all the machines located there. As the UPS works at all times, it offers the necessary power for the web servers to remain up and running until the generator starts and takes over. Using this sort of a backup is a must for any data center or provider that wants to keep their hardware and data intact in case of a power surge or outage, due to the fact that it offers them ample time to react until the problem is resolved and the primary power supply is restored.
