A user is requesting a solution that will prevent file corruption and ensure a graceful shutdown while providing at least one hour of uptime in case of extreme weather conditions. Which of the followi

A UPS contains an internal battery that supplies power when the main supply fails, providing enough runtime (often well over an hour for properly sized units) to allow a graceful shutdown and prevent file corruption. It also conditions incoming power to protect against surges and sags, addressing all three requirements in the scenario.

A surge protector only diverts excess voltage spikes; it provides no battery backup and cannot sustain uptime during a power outage.

A power strip simply extends outlet availability with no surge protection or battery backup, offering no protection against power loss or corruption.

A power distribution unit distributes power to multiple rack-mounted devices but contains no battery or conditioning capability to sustain uptime during an outage.
