why they want this much servers. - Directly proportional to Business need
- various different type of applications and their data management
- total number users that will connect SQL server
- Performance prospective and storage


how these all servers maintained like performance problems,backups,replication etc ?

-In larger organization everything implemented with proper planning and analysis. They follow their standards with respect to licensing, installation, Configuration Administration and support model.
They use enterprise level tools (Tivoli , BMC, Liespeed)to monitor and manage the Sql servers. and Distributes the Roles and responsibility among the teams like monitoring team,production team, deployment team all this comes under hierarchy of SQL server support model. which ultimately very easy to support large number of server with less headcount.
