A customer needs to store a large amount of unstructured data that must be queried...

For storing a large amount of unstructured data that must be queried quickly, object storage is the most suitable option. Object storage is designed to handle massive amounts of unstructured data, such as documents, images, videos, and other media types. It stores data in a flat address space, using unique identifiers (objects), making it highly scalable and efficient for quick querying.

HPE offers solutions like HPE Scality RING, which provides robust object storage capabilities optimized for scalability and performance. Object storage is particularly effective in big data environments and applications that require rapid access to large datasets.
