What is Cameyo? And How it Works with ezeep

Cameyo, recently acquired by Google, is a Virtual Application Delivery (VAD) platform designed to stream applications without the need for complex Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or Desktop as a Service (DaaS) setups. It aims to simplify app delivery and provide a more cost-effective way to get applications to users across various devices and operating systems. While Cameyo excels at application delivery, printing from these virtualized environments often presents challenges. Integrating ezeep with Cameyo, however, helps you ensure smooth, secure, and efficient printing workflows.

What is Cameyo?

Cameyo is a Virtual Application Delivery platform that streams applications to users, eliminating the need for VPNs or the expense of fully virtualized desktops. Launched in 2018, it works across Windows, Linux, Mac, Chromebook, and web platforms, adhering to a Zero Trust framework. It offers both fully-hosted services on Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure and self-hosted options for various environments.

What are the advantages of using Cameyo?

Cameyo offers several benefits for enterprises looking to simplify application delivery:

1. Cost Efficiency: By reducing the need for expensive infrastructure, Cameyo provides a cost-effective way to deliver applications.
2. Reduced Complexity: The platform helps simplify application delivery for IT admins, making apps easily accessible for end users.
3. Security: By not relying on VPNs for access, Cameyo provides a protected method of delivering applications, safeguarding sensitive enterprise data.
4. Flexibility: Cameyo supports various platforms, allowing organizations to cater to diverse user needs and device preferences.

Printing with Cameyo and ezeep

App virtualization often introduces unique printing challenges. Cameyo provides basic printing functionalities, such as installing a printer on the application server or using Microsoft Print-To-PDF. However, these methods may not meet the speed, efficiency, or security requirements of modern enterprises. This is where ezeep integrates to enhance and simplify the printing process.

How can ezeep enhance printing in Cameyo environments?

ezeep offers several benefits to ensure smooth printing within Cameyo environments:

1. Increase Efficiency with Direct Printer Mapping: ezeep supports both locally installed and centrally provisioned printers, allowing them to be mapped based on user or group preferences. Users can also select their preferred printers through a web portal, providing control without requiring IT support. This means printing as you expect, from any location, any device, and for any printer.
2. Deliver Further Cost Savings via VPN-Free Access: Just as Cameyo removes the need for VPNs for app delivery, ezeep's cloud-based approach removes the need for VPNs for printing infrastructure. This enables users to print from Cameyo-delivered applications without reliance on VPNs for local printing, for both locally installed and centrally provided printers.
3. Eliminate Print Servers with the ezeep Hub: ezeep allows organizations to replace traditional print servers with the ezeep Hub. This offers numerous advantages, such as quicker ROI, no more print server maintenance or VM costs, and reduced energy costs.
4. Secure Printing: Printing sensitive data requires precautions that are typically outside Cameyo's scope. With features like controlled release printing using card or smartphone authentication, print data encryption, and Zero Trust printing, ezeep helps ensure that documents are protected and only accessible to authorized personnel.

How to Start Using ezeep with Cameyo

1. Sign Up: Visit the ezeep website and sign up for a free account.
2. Configure Printers: Set up and configure your printers, defining user and group access, controlled release printing, and other preferences.
3. Start Printing: Once set up and the ezeep Print App is installed on the Cameyo server, users can start printing from their Cameyo applications without needing printer redirection.

Conclusion

Cameyo's Virtual Application Delivery platform has the potential to change how enterprises deliver applications, bringing innovation to the VDI/DaaS market. When it comes to printing from these virtualized applications, however, challenges remain. Integrating ezeep with Cameyo provides significant cost savings and productivity increases. It helps simplify the process, enhances security, and removes the need for cumbersome VPNs, making it an important tool for modern enterprises.
