To protect against hard drive failures, organizations often use redundant array of inexpensive/independent drives (RAID), in which database updates are replicated to multiple hard drives so that an organization can continue to process database updates after losing one of its hard drives. To protect against electrical power interruptions and outages, organizations use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which is a power source such as a battery or fuel cell, for short interruptions and a power generator for longer outages.
