We have an application that will be installed on multiple servers. &nbsp;we are sharing a SQL 2014 Standard server for all the application servers. &nbsp;we have the option to configure all the servers to use the same instance of SQL and utilize a database naming convenstion or to set up multiple instances. &nbsp;<br />

From a performance standpoint, what is better? &nbsp;have one instance or use multiple instances?<br />

Thanks!
