The family name is "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" (RHEL) and the version
6 of it is called "RHEL6". Red Hat does offer a "Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization" system, but I've never heard it referred to as "RHEV".
That doesn't mean it isn't called that, I've just never heard it.

If you're looking for just Linux and don't care about the
virtualization system, note that there really are two different
"classes" of RHEL, "desktop" and "server". You choose what you want.

To expand on what Bob said, CentOS is built from the same source code as 
RHEL, but CentOS changes the branding, logos and such before
publishing. It tracks RHEL quite closely, but updates, patches and such
lag behind RHEL by as much as two weeks or so as they have to wait for
Red Hat to push out the source RPMs, then do the rebranding and such
before they can release their versions.

RHEL is a commercial product (you must purchase it) and it does come
with support. You can also purchase and/or increase the support levels.

CentOS is a community effort and is free. Note that it does NOT have
support beyond the usual mailing lists, chat rooms and such.
