The decision to choose between RHEV and oVirt (or any other oVirt based product) is a complex one: * Do you want/need support? * Do you need a certified platform for support of your other enterprise applications (Oracle, SAP, etc)? * Do you need a commitment to provide long term maintenance of the platform? If you want or need any of these, then you will not not get them with oVirt - however, you may get them with oVirt based products (and in particular with RHEV). And while we work hard to ensure that oVirt works well for our users, RHEV does have a much more rigorous QE cycle which results in a more stable release which is supported by Red Hat than what you get with oVirt. That said, if you want to try newer features, you will get them 6 months earlier in oVirt than in RHEV - so I would encourage people to use oVirt for their test and preprod environments, and consider RHEV for production, personally. I hope this helps!
