The install process depends on how you want to design your lab .
You can have a small deployment with just 3 hosts in hyperconverged setup
or a large datacenter with 200 hypervisors and one or more dedicated SAN
for the storage.
If you go with an hyperconverged setup, you can install oVirt Node on 3
hosts and then on one of them use cockpit to deploy gluster and hosted
engine on top of it in hyperconverged mode.

You can find an installation guide here:
http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/install-guide/Installation_Guide/

If you go with hyperconverged mode it's now automated. You can find more
info here:
http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/gluster/gdeploy-cockpit-integration/
Sahina, please ensure above link is updated. I see it shows the feature
still in WIP while it's been released.

About use cases for oVirt you can find some examples here:
http://www.ovirt.org/community/user-stories/users-and-providers/
If you want dedicated support, I would recommend to get a Red Hat
Virtualization (which is oVirt with technical support and some additions)
subscription getting Red Hat support.
Another place to get support if you stay with oVirt is the community: this
mailing list, the IRC channel and social media, have a look here for other
contacts: http://www.ovirt.org/community/
