Is it possible to connect  57 different location   while using IPsec VPN.  if yes what router should be preferred  which can handle huge traffic.

57 sites shouldn't be an issue for most Cisco VPN capable routers.  "Huge traffic", though, will much determine how "powerful" a router you'll need.  You'll need to further clarify "huge traffic".

I've attached a Cisco whitepaper that provides performance information, including for VPN, for most of Cisco's current ISR, except for the new 4400s.  Those, and the ASRs, offer even more VPN performance.

thanks Joseph For reply,

sorry If i could not explain well.  

I mean to say that 57 different location (different countries).  is IPsec good and cheap solution for that.? 

we have to assume that 57 countries will access our central location simultaneously  where our application is running.

In my experience, with branches around the globe, VPN can work very well and it's usually the least costly for the bandwidth.  (Also, you can often get Internet bandwidth easier than private bandwidth, in many world locations.)

Firstly depends, How much traffic are you anticipating ?

Are sites across globe, so that means if you are not 24*7, Only few sites are active at a time.

I generally advice people to use DMVPN instead of 57 IPSEC tunnel which is Hassel to manage.

I personally think ASR's can do a good job, however suggest you to check your input traffic or Internet bandwidth which you are hosting.
