I don't think so, IDPA is a suite of software that runs on esxi. but if you are looking for the latest firmware version (2.5 currently), it is a 65gig package that contains all the virtual ones that run inside the DP4400
doing some research it may be possible to extract them

lbazterrica is correct that there is no completely virtual IDPA.
IDPA/PowerProtect appliance is only provided/supported as a physical appliance.
The DP4400 has one esxi host with the remaining IDPA components running as VMs.
The DP5xxx and DP8xxx models have 3 esxi hosts forming a vsan cluster.
DP5xxx has a physical Data Domain and the rest of the components are VMs running on the vSAN.
DP8xxx has a physical Data Domain and Avamar and the rest of the components running on the vSAN.
For a cost effective lab, you may want to consider the DP4400s, which is the smallest model available, with less storage than the DP4400 model.
Dell has online Labs and training/demo videos available to Partners here:

This IDPA playlist on youtube is available to anyone:

If this helps please give KUDOS.
