Hardware server specs for 1K concurrent user

Hi I’m using the (HP ML 10 Gen 9) as a VOD server.

My question is : could this server handle 1K concurrent user ?

The server specs as following:

Hi layal, depends on how many different videos you have and what’s your expectation ? note that 1k concurrent user needs 2-3 gbit dedicated bandwidth per second, will your server handle this ? If not you can think of serving video via cdn.
