Google acquires Cameyo to bring Windows apps to ChromeOS

The integration of Cameyo’s technology bundled with ChromeOS helps businesses accelerate their adoption of web-based technology.

Google has reportedly acquired Cameyo, a platform which develops virtualisation tools to run Windows apps on ChromeOS devices, for an undisclosed amount.

Naveen Viswanatha, Head of Product Management, ChromeOS said, “By bringing the Cameyo team’s expertise in-house, we are doubling down on our commitment to delivering a streamlined experience for virtualised applications. By combining the power of ChromeOS with Cameyo’s innovative VAD technology, we are empowering businesses to modernise their IT infrastructure while preserving their investments in existing software,” said Viswanatha.

ChromeOS has been committed for long, to provide users with the best possible experience for virtual applications. As per the company, for ChromeOS users, this means even greater access to critical legacy applications, without the hassle of complex installations or updates.

According to Google’ statement, the integration of Cameyo’s technology bundled with ChromeOS helps businesses to accelerate their adoption of web-based technology.

Both ChromeOS and Cameyo provide zero trust security, and together deliver deep protection of data and systems from vulnerabilities. Virtualised applications could be easily deployed and accessed across organisations, regardless of device or location.

Recognising the potential of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), Google stepped ahead to partner with Cameyo last year (2023) to launch a seamless virtual application delivery experience fully integrated with ChromeOS. These features further ensure that the users can seamlessly access data and files in a secure, easy, and familiar way within virtual apps.
