Hello,
I've a project for a site with 1500 users accounts in prevision.
So my question is : "is it possible to have 1000 logged in at the same time ?"
I've read this article :
http://drupal.org/node/248730
But I would like to know if an equivalent web site with 1500 users accounts exists every where, and which is configuration server ?
Thank you for help.

questions posted in deprecated forums are likely to remain unanswered.
Whether or not a server will support a certain amount of users depends on the infrastructure, the amount of modules in use, why types of caching is being done what optimization methods are being deployed and lastly just what those users are doing at any given time. There is no yes or no answer to the question you are asking.
Depends
This is a deprecated forum, use the High Performance group at groups.drupal.org instead.
To answer your question, it depends on what these users are doing, and how often they are refreshing pages, and which pages they are refreshing.
With custom caching in the code implemented to the user level, more scalability can be achieved for logged in users. For example, certain components or pages that cause heavy queries can be refreshed only once an hour and stored using cache_set() with memcached.
