The ones I've looked at consider a very large data warehouse (VLDW) to be no more than 12-15TB. As you say, we don't generally get involved unless a system has tens or even hundreds of TB (is that a VVLDW?) Dell also recently announced a SQL Server reference architecture that scales from 1 to 4TB with pricing around $100,000 per TB. I won't be losing any sleep over that either.
