  Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization is purchased, like all Red Hat software, on the subscription model. This means no high upfront license fees. Just a simple yearly subscription that includes software access, updates, support, and access to the customer portal.
• Easily extensible - integrated framework
  Deploying an open and extensible virtualization framework can be a critical component to successful integration with an existing infrastructure, as well as add-on software and tools.
• Go beyond bare metal
