Case Study: Tour de Force achieves 50% faster software builds and sub‑1ms latency with Pure Storage

Tour de Force Triumphs with Pure Storage's High Reliability and Simplified Management

Tour de Force, Inc. is a Findlay, OH–based provider of customizable CRM and productivity software for small and mid‑sized distribution firms. Facing an aging IT infrastructure that caused erratic application performance and threatened its ability to scale and speed time‑to‑market, the company set out to virtualize its environment and modernize storage to support growth and faster product delivery.

Tour de Force deployed a virtual infrastructure on Pure Storage all‑flash arrays, gaining sub‑millisecond latency, “bullet‑proof” reliability, and near‑zero storage administration. The change cut software build times by 50%, reduced latency from as much as 60 ms to <1 ms, sped SQL queries and demos, enabled VM provisioning and cloning in minutes or seconds, and provided non‑disruptive upgrades and easy scaling for new hosted services.
