VMware
VMware vSphere/ESXi backup with agent-in-guest VSS snapshots.
CloudIP's VMware support uses agent-in-guest backups so application consistency works through VSS or native Linux snapshot tooling. This avoids host-API constraints and works in environments without paid VADP.
Recovery is fully agent-driven.

How CloudIP shows up for VMware
A practical walkthrough of what changes when this audience runs on the platform.
If you are evaluating CloudIP because of VMware, you are likely already running a stack that integrates around it. CloudIP is built to be a friendly neighbour to VMware rather than a replacement: where VMware is the system of record, CloudIP defers; where CloudIP owns the operational record, VMware reads from a documented endpoint.
The most common pattern is a thin integration with VMware for the parts of the business it already runs, and CloudIP for everything else — accounting, CRM, HR, communications, POS, and backup. Agent-in-guest is what makes that practical at SMB scale.
Because the platform exposes REST endpoints and webhooks for every meaningful state change, the integration with VMware stays under your control. There is no special partner program, no hidden surcharge, and no implementation gating — the same automation primitives are available to every customer on day one.
Common questions from VMware buyers
Yes. VMware backup is one of the named buyer profiles the platform is designed around. Agent-in-guest and VSS-aware that matter most for VMware are part of the standard subscription rather than a tier upgrade.
