25G plus will not be a problem - many people (including where I used to be) run databases in the 100's or 1000's of gig.

24x7 not an issue - Oracle has a very effective "hot" backup mechanism

10,000 concurrent users...now that could be a challenge...Out of my league there. Look at: Connection Manager, Multi-threaded server information...
