while yes its kvm, i do not believe it is purely oVirt.  From the
documentation:

The Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor is derived from the
Managed Node component of the oVirt project. While the core technology of
oVirt Managed Node is used, the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor incorporates its own management communications stack. For more
information on the oVirt project, visit oVirt.org.

and a blog discussion about it:
