UPS is an abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply or Uninterruptible Power Source. It's a battery which is used to power a PC or a web server to prevent the loss of information in case the main power source fails for whatever reason or becomes risky. A diesel generator basically self-explanatory. UPSs and generators are used as a backup in data centers to back up the power supply and to guarantee the continuous running of all of the web servers located there. Since the UPS works constantly, it provides the necessary power for the web servers to remain operational until the generator starts and takes over. Using this kind of a backup is vital for any data center or service provider that wants to keep their hardware and info intact in case there is a power surge or outage, because it provides them with plenty of time to react until the issue is resolved and the main power supply is restored.
