A generator that kicks on when the power goes out. A UPS isn’t for extended runtime, it’s the bridge the gap until the generator is running. (Or for graceful shutdown if there is no generator.)

Not necessarily. A bit of both I would say. My servers can run a few hours on the UPS but bellow a certain threshold it shuts my servers off safely. For most power outages that’s enough to keep things running.
