A company's data center has a critical server that must remain operational at all times. Which of the following solutions should the company implement to ensure that the server remains available during an unexpected power outage?
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is designed to provide emergency battery power when the main power source fails. A UPS can keep a server running through brief outages and gives administrators time to shut the system down properly if the blackout lasts longer. A surge protector only shields equipment from voltage spikes and does not supply electricity. Cloud storage preserves copies of data but cannot power on-premises equipment. Additional cooling systems help regulate temperature but do nothing to maintain electrical availability during a power loss.
