Hong Kong Telecom has a Oracle database approximately 700GB (mirrored so they have about 1.4 Terrabytes of storage) running on a HP-UX cluster. This contains their latest 6 weeks billing data. God knows how much they have archived. This is a 24x7 shop so they have no backups and their sysadmins tend to burnout rapidly. (One recently quit and took up another job at 1/2 her old pay - but now she doesn't get a panic attavk everytime the pager goes off :-)).

E-mail me for a contact address in HK if necessary.
