Why not just convert the VM's to run in virtualbox and run Solaris
directly on the hardware?
That's another possibility, but it depends on how Virtualbox stacks
up against VMWare Server. At this point a lot of planning would be
necessary to switch to something else, although this is possibility.
How would Virtualbox stack up against VMWare Server? Last I checked
it doesn't have a remote console of any sort, which would be a deal
breaker. Can I disable allocating virtual memory to Virtualbox VMs?
Can I get my VMs to auto boot in a specific order at runlevel 3?
Can I control my VMs via the command line?
Yes you certainly can. Works well, even for GUI based guests, as
there is vm-level VRDP (VNC/Remote Desktop) access as well as
whatever remote access the guest provides.
I thought Virtualbox was GUI only, designed for Desktop use primarily?
Not at all. Read up on VBoxHeadless.

This switch will only make sense if all of this points to a net
positive.
