That's very interesting as most other projects sometimes react not really cool if users/companies announce commercial services. The company I'm working for / I co-founded (company name ovido - located in Vienna, Austria) is offering professional services for amongst others Linux, monitoring and virtualization like consulting, trainings but we also support these installations. Our main virtualization focus is RHEV, but for some customers oVirt is - for various reasons - the solution which fits better their need. As we really like oVirt and RHEV we try to spread out the word with magazine articles or presentations on open source events (mainly in Austria and Germany). Besides this I started open sources project like the check_rhev3 Nagios/Icinga plugin and the ui plugin for Icinga/Nagios. What we don't do is announce our offering of commercial services in an obvious way in mailing lists.
