Power Conditioning

A device that sits between a computer and its power supply, typically a wall outlet. The power conditioner provides protection against surges in power just as a surge protector does, but a power conditioner also maintains a continuous voltage fed to the computer during temporary voltage reductions.

Standby Power

A power source for electrical equipment that is always ready to be utilized. Typically, standby power comes from a battery within an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Under normal circumstances, the UPS conditions and transmits power from a building power outlet to the equipment. When the building outlet ceases to provide electricity, the UPS provides power from a standby reserve, its battery.
