Google Earth Enterprise - Google Earth Fusion

Google Earth Fusion integrates your geospatial data into the Google Earth Enterprise system - raster (imagery and terrain), vector, KML, 3D models and even data stored in traditional databases. Once data has been integrated and styled, it is delivered to the client software using Google Earth Server. Datasets can be selected and optimized using a friendly GUI. A command line interface is available for power users, complex integrations and automation. Google Earth Fusion can be configured to update data so that your Google Earth Enterprise system is synchronized to the latest available datasets.
