A network administrator at a small business is concerned that sudden power outages could cause data corruption on their main file server. The business needs a solution that provides enough time to shut the server down gracefully during an outage. Which of the following devices should be implemented to address this concern?
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides immediate, short-term backup power from batteries when the main power source fails. This allows critical systems, like a server, to be shut down safely and gracefully, preventing data loss or corruption. A surge protector only guards against voltage spikes, a power strip only expands the number of outlets, and a voltage regulator only corrects inconsistent voltage levels; none of these provide backup power during an outage.
