What is UPS besides United Postal Service?

My best contextual guess, me having no tech background, is something like Universal Protocol Server? I dunno

UPS is never United Postal Service. You might have meant UPS as United Parcel Service, or you might have mistaken USPS (United States Postal Service).

In this context they are using UPS as Uninterruptable Power Supply.

Ah! Yes thank you for straightening me out on all those details there.

Username suspiciously relevant

Uninterruptible power supply is the common use.
