Apple is a heavy user of Teradata which according to this article they were the quickest to reach a petabyte. It is now 2 years later and they could be in the tens of petabytes given the success of iPhone 6 and integration with Beats.

Teradata is VERY expensive and my guess is reaching also scalability limits.

FoundationDB solves completely different problems than Teradata. FDB isn't an analytical store.
