If these are virtual server OS's then you could use the LAN-free VCB proxy method.

For configuring LAN Free backups , you will have to make the windows clients as  SAN Clients and you will have to configure Fiber Transport Media Servers which connect to the SAN Fabric , these are different from the normal Media Servers
