Oracle has Oracle VM and has an increasing number of apps certified for 
it.  It's also free and you get to keep your Oracle support :-)
Oracle VM is basically Xen 3.1.4 and it's a relatively small download.  
You can also download images for quite a few apps to try out.
(I know I'm biased, but really, if you're thinking of going down the 
virtualisation route and looking at Xen then you really ought to be at 
least aware of Oracle VM.)
