UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device that provides emergency backup power to IT equipment during power outages. In data centres, UPS systems ensure continuous operation of servers and critical systems, preventing data loss and minimizing downtime. UPS units use batteries or flywheels to provide short-term power until generators or alternative sources are activated. High-tier data centres often deploy redundant UPS configurations to ensure reliability.

Uptime represents the percentage of time a data centre remains fully operational and accessible to its users, making it a critical measure of reliability. Achieving high uptime is essential for businesses relying on continuous IT operations, as downtime can result in financial losses and reputational damage. Uptime is typically expressed as a percentage, with 99.99% (four nines) being a common benchmark in the industry, translating to just a few minutes of downtime annually. Factors such as redundant systems, robust power supply, and effective maintenance play a crucial role in achieving high uptime.
