How is Github Enterprise hosted?

How exactly does github enterprise (or similar services) allow you to install it and host on your own servers without being open source?

GHE is available as appliance and you can import the downloaded ova file to vmware and can configure it from the GUI after installation

As someone mentioned, it's an Open Virtualisation Format image which you can run in VMWare, VirtualBox or IBM Power. You can read more in the GitHub Enterprise FAQ.

The Virtual Image runs a Linux OS and the GitHub software. Most of the work has been done for you, it's pretty much plug and pay (licence for 40 users runs at $10k/year last time I checked).

I'm not very familiar with GitHub Enterprise, but it appears it's just a OVF package (commonly used format for packaging an entire virtual machine) that you just import and go.. a full stack including the OS and all. It's not something you just install alongside other things like WordPress (or at least it doesn't appear to be.)
