For even better control, fire up a Solaris zone and a database

1) That is Solaris specific, which is not the wider audience.
2) Maintenance nightmare. Much easier to manage one application that
can have a single backup.
3) You have virtualization costs.
4) For users who don't want to pay, you can put them in a global
buffer pool and leave them be.
Virtualization has its uses, but I have not bought into them being
valuable for database deployments in most cases.
