Google Earth Enterprise – Google Earth Server
The Google Earth Enterprise Server
software delivers rich 3D and 2D content to users' fingertips
by hosting worlds of your data built by Google Earth Enterprise
Fusion. These data may be accessed by the Google Earth Enterprise
Client for 3D worlds or a compatible web browser for 2D worlds.
Supporting services, like geocoding, are available with the
new Search Framework module, which allows multiple databases
to be joined through a Plugin API.
Google Earth Enterprise Server software can meet your data
hosting needs, ranging from hosting flyable worlds of vector-only
datasets for use with the online Google Earth, to fully stand-alone
worlds with terabytes of imagery, terrain, and vector data.
Your organization can serve your data in a stand alone 3D globe
to be viewed in the Google Earth Enterprise Client or in a
2D browser-based map utilizing the Google Maps technology.
The Google Earth Enterprise Server "overlay mode" combines
the best of two worlds, by publishing a world built from your
organization's vector data, and allowing users to view these
data in the Google Earth Enterprise Client, on top of the rich,
multi-terabyte world of terrain, imagery, vector and 3D models
hosted by Google. Organizations may view also use Google Earth
Enterprise Server to host vector data in a Google 2D Maps interface.
Enterprises that possess large amounts
of imagery, terrain, vector and KML data may utilize the
Google Earth Enterprise Server in "stand alone" mode to host
and deliver data to the entire organization. Enterprise users
may enjoy these worlds in an easy-to-use UI such as the Google
Earth Enterprise Client or the 2D maps feature in Google
Earth Enterprise System.

Allow your users to connect to your data
Google Earth Enterprise Client
has the additional features found in Google Earth
Pro, plus allows your users to connect to your
enterprise's 3D Globe containing the data fused,
authored and styled in Google Earth Enterprise
Fusion and hosted from Google Earth Enterprise
Server. Optional Search plugin allows your users
to query and search the attribute data for your
organization's vector data. |
Browser based 2D Maps
can be built using Google Earth Enterprise Fusion
and served from Google Earth Enterprise Server.
Your users can connect to your geospatial data
using a browser, just as they connect to Google
Maps, from within your internal network. |
