understand the term instance

1144 Views

HI all,

I want to understand the term what instance means.this is the definition what i have got

"An Instance is an administrative unit that combines SAP system components providing one or more services.

The services provided by an instance are started and stopped together.

You use a common instance profile to set parameters for all components of an instance.

"

So by this definition does that mean that if we have dev , qual and prod all are ecc based systems then we have 3 instances ?I want to understand what this instance means specifically with respect to SAP.
