You'll need a heck of lot more bandwidth. Plus multiple servers to get around the numerous bottlenecks that exist in both hardware and software.

Even if 2000 people aren't viewing videos at the exact same time, but are still connected (ie. browsing the video descriptions, etc), that alone is going to generate a huge server load.

Do you really expect 2000 users to be on at the same time? ...or 2000 over several hours? The latter is more realistic and doable with a few or even one server.

Another option is *not* host most of the videos, but instead, basically, make your site a tube link site.
