Finding server(s) capacity

I am working on a application stack as follows:

There is a cisco load balancer that can handle 40K concurrent users in front of 2 application server. In the back there is a sql server with 2 TB data.

What i want to find out is how much traffic this application can handle at peak times, in other words what is the capacity of this stack.

I am aware of JMeter. I dont think running jmeter from a single machine can find out the capacity of the application.

How would one determine capacity of this stack?

JMeter has a distributed mode allowing you to simulate huge loads by using multiple client machines:

In the event that your JMeter client machine is unable, performance-wise, to simulate enough users to stress your server, an option exists to control multiple, remote JMeter engines from a single JMeter GUI client. By running JMeter remotely, you can replicate a test across many low-end computers and thus simulate a larger load on the server. One instance of the JMeter GUI client can control any number of remote JMeter instances, and collect all the data from them.
