Sure,

In the AJP/1.3 connector configuration for Tomcat we have: maxThreads="1000".
We also increased the amount of memory available to the JVM to 8192m.  In HTTPD
we set MaxClients to 700.

We actually run 5 Shib IDPs because we needed a seperate one for each of the
Office 365 domains.

The service is hosted on 2 physical machines in an active-passive failover
configuration.  Each host has 12 cores and 16GB of memory.

All the best,

Sam Jones.
