Welcome to the world of Oracle.
I've worked with DB's in this size and larger on Oracle under Unix. One problemarea was the backup/restore of this DB's due to 7*24h availability , also sometimes the queries over tables with 30Million rows (and up), wrong joined or queries which coudn't use indexes. The most importend part is a sound DB design.

if i'm right Oracle is also used on DB's in the tera byte area.
