How does the original Hellsing anime series relate to the newer OVA from 2006?

Is it just a re-release or is there more to it?

How does Hellsing (2001) relate to Hellsing (2006)?


[Hellsing
(2001)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hellsing_episodes#Hellsing) was
based on the manga but contained significant differences, though the character
design was similar and the names were the same. The setting was the same as
the setting in the manga, but the plot was entirely different.

[Hellsing
(2006)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hellsing_episodes#Hellsing_Ultimate)
or Hellsing Ultimate was an OVA that shared the same plot as the manga,
following it much more closely than Hellsing (2001) did. Animated entries of
[_The Dawn_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellsing#Hellsing%3a_The_Dawn), the
prequel series to Hellsing, were released with the 8th, 9th, and 10th episodes
of Hellsing (2006).
