Simultaneous SOAP Requests with JMeter

Question

We have test-plan like below:

Test Plan
    Thread Group 
        SOAP/XML-RPC Request 1
        SOAP/XML-RPC Request 2
        SOAP/XML-RPC Request 3

We have an issue when our service goes down on a certain day with a large load. We want to load test requests/responses per second, ranging from 500 to 10,000 requests over 20 mins to 1 hour.

Setting the thread value to 1200 for example only gives us roughly 60 per second. Any help to get this value up would be great folks.

ranging from 500 to 10,000 requests over 20 mins to 1 hour.

Do you mean 500 to 10,000 requests per second, or for example 10,000 requests over 30 mins which are a little over 5 requests på second?

I you are starting 1200 threads and not getting more than 60 requests per second it is probably not JMeter limiting the throughput. If you are sure the system can manage a higher troughput (thus it is not a service hardware problem) then I would check the network capacity between the load generating server and the service for bottlenecks.
