What is Cameyo cloud virtual application delivery?
The Cameyo cloud virtual application delivery platform is a modern approach to delivering what most remote employees truly need – applications. Cameyo’s solution is a fresh take on simplicity, security, and ease of deployment that can literally have an organization up and running, delivering on-premises, or even legacy applications in a matter of a short amount of configuration time.
I also was selected as a test of the software and just how easy it was to install and configure. You can read my blog post on the Cameyo blog site here. It literally took just a few minutes to stand up a working Cameyo configuration and begin delivering virtual applications. You can read my experience with that process here:
It is one of those solutions that until you get your hands on it and experience the configuration and management side of things, you don’t appreciate how easy it is to connect remote users with the applications they need.
What are the benefits of Cameyo?
There are many outstanding benefits to the Cameyo solution. With the distributed and hybrid workforce needed today, organizations have to provide the tools needed to allow that connectivity from anywhere and on any device.
Security
Businesses today are tasked with defending against more cybersecurity threats than ever before, including ransomware.
Organizations using legacy connection technologies like Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are often a target of attackers who use phishing or other password attacks to compromise weak passwords and other vulnerabilities in these technologies.
Cameyo is a purpose-built digital workspace solution with intrinsic security by design. They implement a zero trust security model. The Cameyo digital workspace solution includes modern security mechanisms as part of the offering. These include:
- A unique “PortShield” technology – The Cameyo PortShield closes all HTTP, HTTPS, and RDP server ports and any connections are only allowed once a user is authenticated and authorized
- No firewall ports are required inbound – Cameyo uses a Secure Cloud Tunnelling technology as part of the solution that ensures zero configuration of firewalls and ingress traffic
- Requires no VPNs – Cameyo uses what is known as a “NoVPN” technology meaning connectivity to businesses-critical apps is possible without any special network connections or tunnels from endpoints to internal applications
Digital workspace experience
Cameyo provides a seamless digital workspace experience that is simple, intuitive, and uses a tool that end-users are well acquainted with – the browser. From only a browser session, including those on Chromebooks, users are able to access full Windows applications inside the browser.
It is also extremely flexible in its implementation. Organizations can choose to leverage the Cameyo cloud fully-hosted solution in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or they can self-host Cameyo in their own private or public cloud infrastructure. Companies can also use their own storage, permissions, and other technologies integrated with Cameyo.
