Hoonify Wins Flying 40 Award by Fighting Human Trafficking with DeliverFund Partnership
NM Tech Council’s Flying 40 Award - Technology for Good went to Hoonify for its transformative work with TurbOS software in the fight against human trafficking, in partnership with DeliverFund.
ALBUQUERQUE October 17, 2024 -- Hoonify Technologies Inc., the innovator of TurbOS™ super operating system is proud to announce its newly awarded New Mexico Technology Council Flying 40 Award for using Technology For Good. This award couldn't be possible without their exciting partnership with DeliverFund - a leading nonprofit dedicated to eradicating human trafficking.
This collaboration has enabled DeliverFund to significantly enhance its ability to gather and process data, aiding law enforcement in identifying traffickers more efficiently and rescuing more victims. Using Hoonify’s TurbOS™ super operating system, DeliverFund now collects data five times faster, increasing the number of intelligence reports generated by 50%, from 400 to over 600 annually, while reducing operational complexity and cost.
“Hoonify’s technology allowed us to scale up our data processing without scaling up our costs. Moving collectors to our new HPC clusters showed a 1179% increase in the number of illicit images collected per month. Unrestricted access to an affordable supercomputing cluster has been a boon to the fight against human trafficking. Hoonify made it possible for us to find more traffickers so law enforcement can rescue more victims.” -Sean Fennema
Hoonify’s technology leverages everyday computers to create highly efficient supercomputer clusters and capabilities in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional HPC solutions. These clusters run complex parallel processing codes and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms. Hoonify optimized DeliverFund’s growing demand for faster results, enabling DeliverFund to shift its operations off the cloud and into an on-premises environment with increased security, more controlled and streamlined processes, and dramatically reduced costs.
“We're proud to partner with DeliverFund in its mission to eradicate human trafficking,” said Andrew Clark, Co-Founder and CEO at Hoonify Technologies.
“DeliverFund exemplifies why we founded Hoonify. Many organizations tackle critical challenges that improve lives but lack the computing power they need within limited budgets. High performance computing is complex, but our TurbOS platform simplifies it, maximizing performance from readily available hardware.” - Andrew Clark
"Hoonify has delivered a multi-site HPC configuration allowing for a high-availability solution that ensures DeliverFund is able to fight human trafficking 24/7." said Connor Brown, VP of Software Development at Hoonify Technologies.
"Additionally, we’ve increased their throughput, allowing for 10 million individual applications to run since our installation utilizing 100% of their on-prem hardware. This has allowed them to move most of their operations off the cloud into a more secure workflow and save money in the process.” - Connor Brown
In recognition of the transformative impact of this partnership, Hoonify Technologies was recently honored with the prestigious Flying 40 Award from the New Mexico Technology Council. This award, presented on October 17th, celebrates the top-performing technology companies in New Mexico. Hoonify’s collaboration with DeliverFund was a key factor in earning this accolade, as it demonstrated the company’s ability to create innovative and scalable technology that delivers measurable social impact.
