“By combining the power of ChromeOS with Cameyo’s innovative virtual application delivery technology, we are empowering businesses to modernize their IT infrastructure while preserving their investments in existing software,” Miller and Viswanatha wrote.
Cameyo CTO Eyal Dotan co-founded the startup with Miller in January 2018, aiming to create a platform to virtualize Windows apps so that they could run on non-Windows machines and even within web browsers. Cameyo’s approach works by “virtualizing” an app, then serving that app from either a public cloud, like AWS, or from a private cloud, on-premesis datacenter or hybrid cloud environment.
Last year, perhaps foreshadowing the acquisition, Google partnered with Cameyo to launch features including Windows app local file system integration and the ability to deliver virtual Windows apps as progressive web apps, or apps hosted in datacenters that run in browsers.
As The Verge’s Tom Warren notes in his piece on Cameyo on Wednesday, Google’s been on a mission to push ChromeOS in business and education after a rather lukewarm response from consumers. With Cameyo’s tech, organizations looking to move away from Windows — or work with both Windows and ChromeOS — have a potentially more appealing avenue, particularly as more and more apps move to the cloud and web-based technologies.
Indeed, Cameyo claims on its website that hundreds of organizations, including school districts and financial institutions, already rely on its software.
