The ones that I know which do, do so because they're in buildings where access has to be arranged, so if there's a power dip or whatever, the system stays ready. The one I know, before the UPS, it could take some time for access to be granted to restart everything if ever there was a power disturbance.
Shack, noun, a small building, usually made of wood or metal, that has not been built well - Oxford Dictionary
A shack (or, less often, shanty) is a type of small, often primitive shelter or dwelling - Wikipedia
