We would be glad to know your recommendation for 400 users to connect also we can't be sure of submission at the last 10 minutes of the contest and that we can't restrict submission
I cannot give a simple recommendation: this really depends mostly on how many and how large test cases you have, what the problem timelimits are, and how much teams will submit. The hardware looks fine, but doesn't influence this so much.
We've been recommending as a rule of thumb about 1 judgehost per 20 teams. This has been sufficient for our (sub)regional contests in NW-Europe, and also at the World Finals, but again: your mileage may vary!
The best thing you can do is analyze previous contests and check how many submissions there were, and how busy the judgehosts were.

Just from a quick glance, I see 454 judgings by judgehost1 in 1 hour. That's 8 seconds per judging on average. Depending on the size of the test cases that seems quite reasonable to me. So if these submissions all came in at the first 5 minutes from 23 teams, then they are overloading the system. There's not much you can do except adding more judgehosts or telling teams not to do this.
