It is an Uninterruptable Power Supply. The purpose is to make the pc remain running for a certain peroid of time-usually a few minutes in case of ac power failure. During activation of the UPS the pc user will have enough time to save what he is doing and shut down the pc until the ac power is restored.

UPS - unlimited power supply.
It is a battery that continues to supply power to the PC for a certain amount of time. This helps in case of a power cut, it allows you to save what your working on and close your PC.
Some also have a fuse that protects your hardware from power surges. If one occurs the fuse is burnt instead of your PC.

Uninterruptible power supply. It's a battery, charger, and inverter that you plug the PC into. For critical applications, there are big ones that will keep you going for hours. More often, you see small ones that provide a few minutes of power to allow the computer to shut down properly.
