An ova is a virtual machine format that can be imported into VMWare Player, ESX, Workstation, Virtualbox, or Parallels.
An OVA is a tar archive of an OVF folder. So you can just use tar to uncompress it. An OVF is a collection of items in a single folder. Most commonly this is a description file (.ovf) a manifest file (.mf), and virtual machine state files (*.vhd or *.vmdk) The OVA is easier to download and share. -- Brett C.
