At IWCE, conversations across the show floor made one thing clear: expectations around power are changing.
In a recent video interview with Urgent Communications, Bernie Dugan, Sales Engineer at Evoltix, shares insight into what’s driving that shift, along with the thinking behind the company’s evolution from HCI Energy to Evoltix.

Reflecting a Broader Shift in Power
As Bernie explains, the move to Evoltix is more than a name change. It reflects a broader transition from delivering off-grid and reliable backup power to enabling smart, integrated power systems.
Across critical networks, operators are facing new realities: less predictable grid performance, more distributed infrastructure, and greater demands on uptime. In that environment, power systems need to do more than respond to outages. They need to provide visibility, insight, and control.
The ZPM: Next-Generation Backup Power
The conversation also highlights the ZPM, Evoltix’s next-generation backup power solution.
Unlike traditional backup power systems that are designed to engage only after an outage, the ZPM operates continuously, giving operators a clearer picture of system performance at all times. With the ZPM, teams can:
- Monitor system health in real time
- Receive alerts and alarms before issues escalate
- Extend backup runtime from minutes to hours
This shift enables a more proactive approach to managing power, reducing the need for emergency response and helping keep critical systems online.
Moving Beyond Reactive Power
For many organizations, modernizing power infrastructure has traditionally meant complex upgrades or full system replacements.
As discussed in the video, solutions like the ZPM offer a more practical path forward. By integrating intelligence and extending performance within existing environments, operators can improve reliability without starting from scratch.
