Do you expect the load to be mainy page views or file downloads?

For anonymous page views, set up Varnish Cache. You can also easily
move Solr (search, statistics, oai) to a separate machine if it turns
out to receive much load.

If you expect to have many small files with a small part being
downloaded constantly, Varnish may help there, too.
In case of relatively few large files, if you happen to saturate your
drive's I/O, you can rebalance the assetstore files among several
assetstores on physically separate volumes. There seems to be a new
bitstore-migrate tool [1] in DSpace 6 to help you with that, but I
haven't tried it. It's straightforward to rebalance the assetstore
files manually, too.

So it all comes down to what turns out to be slow. But avoid
optimizing what you think may be slow. First measure, only then act
upon that.
