iBac Virtual Infrastructure Proxy (iBac VIP)

iBac Virtual Infrastructure Proxy (iBac VIP) is an Enterprise backup application for VMware virtual servers. It is licensed per ESX or Virtual Center server regardless of the number of processors on the ESX server or VMs that need to be backed up. VIP can be used with any VCB Proxy Server, Windows 2003 Backup Server or the vendor's Idealstor Backup Appliance; this last of which allows backup jobs to be sent straight to removable disk media for offsite storage.

iBac VIP uses the VCB framework to provide a centralized infrastructure for backing up VMware virtual machines on a live VMware ESX server. iBac Server backups are initiated and maintained from a centralized management console that provides logging, scheduling and E-mail reporting. This enables backup administrators to backup every Virtual machine on their network via a Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN or LAN.
