Yes, as others have said LAbs should allow that either now or shortly. You should sign up for https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l and feel free to ask Labs questions there.

several terabytes for enwiki. Basically, we need access to some text store. Is this available on labs?
I don't know if you'll be able to get that or not. You'll have to make a special request.
