Celiveo 365 and Universal Print

Celiveo365 provides cyber-secure document printing technology as an easy-to-use plug-in for Microsoft 365. It is a Microsoft Azure native secure Cloud app, adding pull print, mobile print, MFP access control, usage tracking and bill-back to the powerful Universal Print service.

Celiveo 365 is an Edge Computing technology, the intelligence rests at the intelligent printers level and interacts directly with Microsoft Universal Print and Azure using advanced Zero Trust Access technology.

As a result Cloud Print is slick, fast, secure and is not a solution running side-by-side with Microsoft Universal Print.

Celiveo 365 adds advanced features that most Enterprise companies are looking for: Cyber Security and Documents access control. You can read more about our enthusiasm in our “Cloud or Smoke?” blog and in “Welcome to Universal Print by Microsoft”

What’s different with Celiveo 365?

Direct from the Cloud

On many printer models1, Celiveo 365 intelligence runs inside the printer and features high-availability technology to always work, even in case of major LAN/WAN/Cloud catastrophe, and without requiring any PC or server on-premise. And most of the time you will not even notice there was a Cloud access outage when you make a copy or send an analog fax.

Today printing still require Internet connection to be live as there is no local software to install, but stay tuned, our talented engineers are working on High Availability for print jobs!

+

Ultra Low Traffic

No need for costly high-speed fiber connection, a DSL connection will be good enough for most ground premises.

Authentication happens locally, data is compressed from Celiveo 365 to printers.

That limits to the maximum the volume of data transferred to and from the Cloud, and therefore reduces your overall wait time at the printer.

Very, very fast!

With smart printers1 information such as PIN code and card number is processed at the printer level1, where Celiveo manages its secure user identity cache. It does not go back to the Cloud unless the user is unknown. Pull print jobs are compressed and encrypted in the Cloud, decrypted at the printer where the user reclaims them. Tracking information is sent directly by the printer1 into the Cloud.

The result is an awesome performance, very fast authentication and printing and no gateway PC/server/service needed to reach the Cloud from a  smart printer or MFP1.
