Earth Enterprise is the open source version of Google Earth Enterprise (GEE), a powerful geospatial application suite that enables organizations to build and host custom 3D globes and 2D maps using their own imagery and data. Unlike Google Maps or Google Earth, Earth Enterprise does not include Google’s proprietary imagery but instead provides the tools needed to manage and visualize private geospatial datasets. The system is composed of three main components: Fusion, which processes and integrates imagery, vector, and terrain data into unified map layers; Server, which hosts the resulting globes or maps via Apache or Tornado-based web servers; and Client, which includes the Google Earth Enterprise Client (EC) for 3D visualization and the Google Maps JavaScript API V3 for 2D viewing. Designed for enterprise, research, and government use, it allows for secure, scalable deployment of geospatial visualization systems within private infrastructure.
