Multiple instances of DataStage exist since V7.x but only offically supported on V7.5.x and only run on UNIX or LINUX.

Reason to install multiple instances of DataStage
1) Test out 7.5.1 without uninstalling an earlier version
2 )Test installing a version of DataStage
3) Install a concurrent version to solve a problem or test a different configuration
4) Upgrade to next version in a complex environments with multiple teams and projects running concurrently.

It is not recommended to do it permanently in Production as extra resources and overhead are consumed by the extra instances. Typically for situation 4 above, you should shutdown the old instances once all projects migrated to the new version.
