1500 clients is quite a lot, but not hard to handle from a single machine if you select a cpu capable of doing ssl quickly. eg a power6 machine with a few cores would handle that without any problems.
And what is the suggested RRP of such a thing? (If one may ask).
I am sure if you ask someone who sells them, they will tell you :D
If you want to stick with commodity hardware, a couple of quad core amd's should also fit right in.
Or use an SSL-offloader. Then, you can handle the same load with much less CPU-power.
Can get fiddly, with specific drivers and patches required to various bits.. But thats a solution that could work too.
