Can Tomcat handle 3000 concurrent sessions? Yes. The bottleneck will not be Tomcat, per se, but rather either hardware resources (memory on the heap) or database connections. What you really need to figure out is how *active* those 3000 users will be -- 3000 users actively querying financial data reports is VERY different than 3000 users reading today's news reports.
Point being that the question to ask is not whether Tomcat will support 3000 concurrent users. This is a question of resource availability. The question should be: can my one machine running with MY APPLICATION, Tomcat and the hardware specs you gave support 'X' simultaneous requests with a minimum/average request processing time of 'Y' milliseconds?
No one here will have the answer to that, of course.
