Pretty sure it's not a typo. Amazon i3.16xlarge is 488 GB of Ram, 64 vCPUs, and a 20 Gigabit connection. Postgres/Mysql can absolutely scream perf-wise on that.

AWS also has 2 TB instances: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/x1/

Outside AWS, you can put 3-6 TB in a normal-ish server from Dell or HP, or 64 TB in a big iron box from Fujitsu or IBM.

+1 - it wasn't a typo. DB machines benefit a lot from huge RAM.
