OFFLINE UPS
Explanation:
From discussion above: "From personal experience, I know that Industry standards are usually minimum 2 UPSs per server - 1 for when the mains power fails, and the other to kick-in when the 1st UPS drains its power. You could say a "UPS-on-demand" (which would cover "demanda" I think)." However, this is not what it's called in UK English (and American as far as I know). It's called an Offline/Standby UPS.

Based on the fact that you've got another UPS in your list, it's got to be this IMO.

BTW, in practice it's virtually always called a "UPS" (for obvious reasons). I've only ever heard it called the long-format name at uni or on courses, etc.

Well done to James for spotting that UPS is an abbreviation ;-) Not too sure about the rest of his answer though...

Asker: It's definitely an "Uninterruptible Power Supply", not sure about "demand" though. Cheers Edward!
