UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply, although it is oftentimes called Uninterruptible Power Source as well. The UPS is, in simple terms, a highly effective battery that's connected to the web server and to the power network constantly, so in the event of any disruption, it's already operating, which allows the web server to continue working without losing any information.

These 2 power solutions are fundamental for any facility or service provider that wants to stop info loss and hardware damage resulting from an unexpected power issue.
