You may be able to do so using SAN Media server covered by Enterprise Client - SAN Media Server is limited edition of media server which is allowed to store its own data to its own storage unit.

As per above excellent post, San Media server will need media server software to be installed on the client along with OST plugin. So, yes, it is possible. Lots of users do this for bigger NBU clients.

thanks you all for your suggestions , my target is

1- To minimize the number of media servers 

2- backup data over LAN with the same constraint "to be send to DD directly"

Data Domain/Netbackup support the use of both FC and IP using the OST framework.

It’s depending upon your network bandwidth.

If network bandwidth is good, than you will use single media server for OST backup.

OST backup speed is very good on local network.

Not possible if you want clients to backup directly to DD using OST plugin.
