Google Cloud are happy to announce that the Cameyo team is joining Google. This new feature represents a major step forward in Google Cloud goal of facilitating the management and accessibility of legacy applications within the ChromeOS ecosystem.They are strengthening Google Cloud resolve to provide a simplified experience for virtualized apps by integrating the Cameyo team’s knowledge in-house.

Online computing is where end-user computing is headed

The web is the foundation of the IT of the future. As many have long anticipated, a recent Forrester study commissioned by Google indicates that 90% of IT respondents envision a world in which programmes live on the cloud rather than on the desktop. Eighty-seven percent of respondents said businesses will fall behind if they don’t adopt the web. This is a fundamental change in the way firms work, not just a fad.

Businesses can get a competitive edge over their rivals by adopting web-based apps early on. These benefits include increased security, lower expenses, and better user experiences. The same report does, however, show that an astounding 50% of applications are still client-based.

Virtual Application Delivery is the Fix

Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions have been used by enterprises historically to access legacy software without installing them on the device. Notwithstanding, the study conducted by Forrester Consulting underscores certain obstacles associated with this methodology, such as the requirement for “specialised skill sets, user experience latency, and difficulty in security and management.”

According to Forrester’s research, virtual application delivery (VAD) is a suggested solution to bridge the gaps. By streamlining the transmission of legacy apps to any device, this novel approach to virtualization does away with the requirement for a whole desktop environment. By removing the requirement for users to log in to a separate virtual desktop environment before accessing any programmes, VAD greatly improves end-user experience while streamlining application management and making it easier for IT staff to maintain software security and updates. Users don’t need to alter their behaviour to utilise web-based and legacy programmes side by side using VAD.

ChromeOS and Cameyo: An Ideal Combination

For a considerable amount of time, ChromeOS has been dedicated to giving users the greatest virtual application experience. Realising the promise of virtual application delivery (VAD), Google cloud collaborated with Cameyo last year to create a smooth, fully integrated ChromeOS virtual application delivery experience that included improved clipboard support, local file system integration, and the ability to distribute virtual apps as progressive web apps (PWAs). These capabilities guarantee that users can easily, safely, and accustomedly access files and data within virtual programmes.

Through this partnership with Cameyo, organisations have been able to improve security and productivity while easing the shift away from laborious legacy programmes.

With ChromeOS and Cameyo, deploying apps is quite easy. Cameyo took care of session management, load balancing, failover, and other related tasks, so They could concentrate on the apps Cloud intended to release. Setting everything up and maintaining it is a breeze, especially when compared to more conventional virtual desktop methods. Enabling Google Cloud long-term Chrome Enterprise strategy requires Cameyo. This is even more strategically appropriate given Cameyo’s extensive agreements and integration with Chrome Enterprise and Google Cloud.

What This Signifies for You

This implies that ChromeOS customers will have even easier access to their essential legacy apps without having to deal with difficult installations or updates. IT departments can exhale with relief as they now have greater command over application management, lowering security threats and freeing up important resources.

Businesses can embrace web-based technologies more quickly when Cameyo’s technology is integrated with ChromeOS because of the following benefits:

Get Rid of Virtual Desktops: Cameyo virtualizes specific apps so that Chromebooks can access them via the Chrome browser, doing away with cumbersome virtual desktop management. This lowers expenses and streamlines the supply of applications.

Simplifying application deployment: Virtualized applications may be quickly deployed and accessible across your enterprise, independent of device or location.

Smooth User Experience: Users can access virtual apps straight from the Chromebook launcher thanks to Cameyo’s integration with ChromeOS. A seamless workflow is ensured by features like clipboard sharing and local file system integration.

Improved User Experience for Legacy Apps: By enabling legacy apps to run on contemporary Chromebooks, Cameyo revitalises them. Users don’t have to worry for incompatibilities because they can get the tools they require.

Increasing security: By enabling zero trust security, ChromeOS and Cameyo work together to provide comprehensive protection of data and systems against vulnerabilities.

Improving productivity: Employees can access the programmes they need quickly and easily as a PWA directly from the ChromeOS shelf, without the irritation of compatibility concerns, slow performance, or virtual desktops to explore.

Cutting IT costs: Over time, major cost savings can be achieved by streamlining infrastructure requirements, support procedures, and application administration.

Gazing Forward

ChromeOS legacy applications have a bright future. Through the integration of Cameyo’s pioneering VAD technology with the strength of ChromeOS, Google Cloud enable companies to update their IT infrastructure while safeguarding their software investments.
