Wasn't Redhat supporting KVM? Or is this the commercial version of KVM?

This is RH's packaged KVM product. KVM is just the hypervisor, not the virtualization platform (think ESXi instead of vSphere, Xen instead of XenServer, etc.)

Ah, ok that makes sense. So this is an appliance or OS version of KVM. Thanks for the clarification.

Ya kind of like how they took Gluster and made Red Hat Storage. So if you want the glusterfs-server package, it's not in the repos.....annoying.
