You can use Linked Serves. There are avaiable in SSMS under de Server Objects - Linked Servers.

You need to create Linked Server for each server that you want to query. Then you can append the tables from the different Linked Servers more and less like this:

select * from [OtherServerName].[OtherDB].[dbo].[OtherTable]
union all
select * from [DifferentServerName].[DifferentDB].[dbo].[DifferentTable]

If you want more information you can check this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1144051/selecting-data-from-two-different-servers-in-sql-server
