When power outages occur the last thing businesses need worry about is losing their vital data and information stored on their systems. A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) can provide electrical power long enough to let systems and computers be properly shut down. Small UPS systems provide power for a few minutes, while larger systems have enough battery for several hours.
UPS systems operate on standby with charged batteries ready to assume responsibility within a few milliseconds of a power interruption. Some UPS systems can go as far as to filter commercial power, smoothing it and correcting spikes and dips.
What is a UPS by definition*
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) A device that provides battery backup when the electrical power fails or drops to an unacceptable voltage level. Small UPS systems provide power for a few minutes; enough to power down the computer in an orderly manner, while larger systems have enough battery for several hours. In mission critical datacenters, UPS systems are used for just a few minutes until electrical generators take over.
UPS systems can be set up to alert file servers to shut down in an orderly manner when an outage has occurred, and the batteries are running out.
Surge Suppression and Voltage Regulation
A surge protector filters out surges and spikes, and a voltage regulator maintains uniform voltage during a brownout, but a UPS keeps a computer running when there is no electrical power. UPS systems typically provide surge suppression and may provide voltage regulation.
Standby and Line Interactive
A standby UPS, also called an "offline UPS," is the most common type of UPS found in a computer or office supply store. It draws current from the AC outlet and switches to battery within a few milliseconds after detecting a power failure.

A standby UPS, also called an "offline UPS," is the most common type of UPS found in a computer or office supply store. It draws current from the AC outlet and switches to battery within a few milliseconds after detecting a power failure.
The line interactive UPS "interacts" with the AC power line to smooth out the waveforms and correct the rise and fall of the voltage.
Online UPS
The online UPS is the most advanced and most costly UPS. The inverter is continuously providing clean power from the battery, and the computer equipment is never receiving power directly from the AC outlet. However, online units contain cooling fans, which do make noise and may require some location planning for the home user or small office.
