The oVirt project is focused specifically on Data Center virtualization management, related technologies and tooling. oVirt brings the richness required by Data Centers to an open-source platform. OpenStack is focused on cloud which requires a minimum around virtualization richness and rather focuses on cloud features. In addition oVirt will be an open virtualization management ecosystem, and may use components from OpenStack or any other community project in achieving that goal. OpenStack and oVirt can be seen complementary in the same way OpenStack has VMWare driver support.
