Hi Ajit,
Volume is only one aspect of Big data. Big data is generally used to get 360 degree views of the customers. If it's only the data volume issue, then I think Hadoop will do. But if the company is interested in learning more about their customers and gaining insights from unstructured data, then big data solutions can help.
For example, Macys.com uses big data and turns it into insights in a timely, almost a daily fashion, so as to respond to any kind of consumer demand changes or marketplace changes. They use it to optimize their pricing and inventory.
For big data use cases, see:
Best,
