About the RHEV environment
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization consists of the following components:
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor:
This is a thin hypervisor layer, which is based on Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM). As KVM forms a core part of the Linux kernel, it proves to be a very efficient virtualization option.
Agents and tools:
These include bundled as well as application-specific agents, and Virtual Desktop Server Manager (VDSM) that runs in the hypervisor. Together, the agents and tools help you administer the virtual machines and the related network and storage.
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization platform management infrastructure:
This provides the interface to view and manage all the system components, machines and images. This management infrastructure provides powerful search capabilities, resource management, live migration, and provisioning.
