JAKARTA - After working together last year, Google has now announced that it has acquired Cameyo, a company that is developing a virtualization tool to run the Windows application on ChromeOS devices.

"By presenting the Cameyo team's expertise, we are doubling our commitment to providing a simplified experience for virtual applications," said Andrew Miller, CEO, Cameyo in an official Google blog post quoted Thursday, June 6.

For ChromeOS users, this acquisition means you can easily install or update window apps to ChromeOS. The IT team will also gain greater control over app management, reduce security risks, and free up valuable resources.

The integration of Cameyo technology with ChromeOS is claimed to help businesses accelerate the implementation of web-based technology with:

Simplifying application applications: Virtualized applications can be easily applied and accessed throughout your organization, regardless of the device or location.

Improving security: ChromeOS and Cameyo provide trustless security, and together provide deep protection against data and systems from vulnerabilities.

Increase productivity: Employees can access the app they need quickly and easily as PWA directly from ChromeOS shelves, without frustration due to compatibility issues, slow performance, or virtual desktop to navigate.

Reducing IT costs: Simplifying application management, support processes, and eliminating infrastructure needs results in significant cost savings over time.

In the future, by combining ChromeOS sophistication and Cameyo's innovative VAD technology, Google will empower businesses to modernize their IT infrastructure while maintaining their investment in existing software.
