I suspect you don't have very many databases (over 50) in production?

        The way that I've always seen it is:
         
        PRODUCTION - One server, one database.  Right size the server to
the database.  Easy to implement one set of policies and procedures that
meet the production requirements.  Server/database downtime is easier to
schedule. 
         
        DEVELOPMENT/TEST/TRAINING - Stick them all on one box in
different databases.  Much more flexibility in policies and procedures.
For downtime - just tell them it'll be down.  They'll complain but the
business won't suffer.  Make sure that your have an SGA/Disk Csar who is
responsible for allocating computer resources. 
         
        I've never had any real problems with that.
