Neelima,

Are you referring to instances or Application Servers ?

Application servers are usually used to increase the throughout / performance and more app servers can be added to an existing instance...

Instances are DEV / QA / PRD / IDES / SANDBOX...

Consulting Companies like IBM can have any number of testing servers (sand-box). Every Client operate own their own servers (90%) or sometime they host servers at SAP AG Space.

In general clients operate on 4 serevrs Dev, Quality, Production, and sand-box. But servers can be of any number depending on project size, like clients prefer to mainatin sperate BI (dev, qua & prd) servers for CRM/SRM/R-3.....it totally depends on requirement of usage for client. But yup minimum servers required is 3, though some client also work without quality servers.
