Case Study: Chronopost achieves sub-millisecond peak performance and 65% data reduction with Pure Storage

Chronopost makes Flash Deliveries Thanks to Pure Storage

Chronopost, France’s leading parcel delivery service, faced recurring delays during peak holiday periods and needed 24/7 reliability to support growing volume (about 20% annual data growth). Its legacy dual hard‑disk storage arrays couldn’t scale or deliver the performance required, driving higher operational costs, complexity, and risk to on‑time deliveries.

After benchmarking options, Chronopost migrated to Pure Storage all‑flash arrays in 2015, attracted by superior deduplication, the intuitive Pure1 console and Evergreen upgrades, plus strong implementation support. The change delivered sub‑millisecond access at peak, 2–3x productivity gains, a 20% boost in web performance, more than 65% data reduction and 65% faster database corrections, while cutting electricity use and storage footprint substantially.
