Using more than one peer in Hyperledger Composer

I have recently deployed and started a business-network with Hyperledger Composer, I have only one peer (?) in which I have created the network and now I am using the rest-server for adding participant and doing transaction from an Android app to my personal blockchain and everything goes well.

So...Need I to configure one or more peers on my network? What's the utility of doing that?

I know that other blockchains needs a lot of peers for co-validating transactions and for maintaining a big scalability / distributed data; doesn't Hyperledger do it for me without adding more peers in my network?

If you have started with Hyperledger Composer you are probably using the 'standard' development Fabric with a Single Peer. This is a 'minimal' Fabric provided to get developers a fast start without the need to configure and deploy a Fabric. But you are correct Hyperleder Fabric can be configured for Multi Peer Multi Organisation distributed ledgers.

There are tutorials in the Fabric documentation for setting up a Fabric from scratch, and also this document covers a tool for extending the Fabric.
