UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source.

Using such a backup is essential 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, as it offers them ample time to react until the problem is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
