Are you sure you mean terabytes, as in 1000 gigabytes?  I haven't heard of
any SQL Server database over 8 TB -- so I doubt anyone knows what the
challenges are with something as large as you're describing.  What industry
is this for?  And what kind of disk system do you have in mind to support
it?

I stand corrected -- 17 terabytes.  Still not even close to 100.

If you are really talking about 100TB then there is no way you can get a
detailed enough answer on a newsgroup for such a general question.  A DB
that size must be properly planed and if you are asking these type questions
you simply do not have the necessary background to accomplish a task like
this on your own.  I recommend you hire a "qualified" consultant to guide
you through this process.
