Sun & Sybase

“This (IQ Multiplex) is the largest demonstrated and verified data warehouse to date with 48.2 terabytes of input data (179 billion rows) stored in a realistic data warehouse schema using only 22 terabytes of total storage.”

Teradata

"Perhaps the largest data warehouse today belongs to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. Teradata, Wal-Mart's database vendor, estimates that the warehouse can hold 200 terabytes of data today. Winter said the figure includes the database's storage capacity, not the total amount of data in it, which is closer to 50 terabytes. Often, to improve performance, large data warehouses need more storage capacity than the actual amount of data collected."
