questions to ask and find out to prepare for load

In order to ensure we have the right number of Web servers so we can scale
quickly, what are some data points I should collect such as incoming
requests,etc.

Also would be nice to know where I can obtain those info as well

Thanks

Your IIS Log files should give you a fair amount of usage stats to get
started. I would prefer to use a Log Analyzser to generate the reports for
analysis. Any custom requirements and I would use IIS LogParser from
Microsoft.
