We need to install multiple deployments of CRM 2011 for different clients. Is it possible to have a single SQL Server with multiple named instances as the database server – or – do we need a single SQL Server per CRM installation?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Named instances are fine for Dynamics CRM. However, do you really need separate instances of SQL?
Are you aware of the multi-tenant capabilities of Dynamics CRM? You could create as many organizations on a single SQL-Server, as long your infrastructure has enough resources. Each of the organizations are completely isolated from each other.
