The official blog for Google Maps
The newest Google Earth Enterprise
July 26, 2007
Posted by Noah Doyle, Product Manager, Enterprise Geospatial Products
Today, we're pleased to announce the newest version of
Google Earth Enterprise
. The enterprise solution brings us into close contact with some of the most advanced users of geospatial tools, and by meeting their needs, it helps make the product better for everyone. And enterprise users are some of the most active in using the products and also making contributions to the Google Earth and Maps user community, with
data
,
blogs
and
mashups
.
So with a goal of extending the benefits of our geo products to organizations, this release takes a big step toward embracing a broader range of users inside organizations. It provides custom database support with Google Maps-style 2D views as well as a traditional 3D view. And it seamlessly marries Google's hosted geo services with the ability to publish custom databases behind the firewall so users can enjoy the best of both worlds. And there's more -- some additional enhancements in this release include:
Browser integration
with the Google Maps API AJAX architecture, allowing 2D map views to be embedded in any web-based application, so everyone in an organization benefits from the power of Google Earth Enterprise.
Performance enhancements
amounting to as much as a 10x speedup for vector data processing and better than 2x reduction in server computation for responding to imagery requests.
New search framework
for integrating geocoding and other search services via Java plug-ins including a Google Search Appliance reference implementation.
Regionator
for creating Super-Overlays with Regions based KML and publishing them for viewing in any Google Earth client version (Free, Plus or Pro).
Security
improvements and extended
Operating System
support including Red Hat Enterprise Server 4 and SUSE Linux 9 and 10.
Also, many of our long-time users may welcome the many interface improvements to streamline data processing steps and make it faster and easier to create customized Google Earth (plus now Maps!) databases. Here's a view of the 'plex from the same custom database - in 3D Google Earth (top) and 2D browser (bottom):
For all these reasons, we say go forth and publish ever more geodata!
