Stress Testing (Load Test) Site and Mobile Apps

I have Dolphin 7.1 with iOS and Android apps.

I have dedicated server on Hostgator.

 

I would like to "stress test" the site and apps.
 

I am expecting about 500 members to be logged in and use the group module and some other modules around the same time.

 

I have been studying how various tools like Apache Benchmark, JMeter etc work.
However, I would like someone with the right expertise to help me out.

 

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

 

Questions:

--------------------------------------
1. Where should I be looking for experts?
Hosting company?
Here? because stress testing Dolphin requires Dolphin script expertise?

 

2. Do I need separate Mobile and Site stress testers?

 

3. Are there other tools I should be researching?

 

Thanks in advance.

I can hammer away at it for a while with different volumes of traffic from a few locations.  Max output around 5 gigs/sec ... Send over a PM with details or questions.
