Google Earth Enterprise is made available from the browser.

Today, Google has announced that Google Earth Enterprise users will be able to view their organization’s map data in two-dimensional space using a web browser, thereby bypassing the firewall. Using a special version of the Google Maps API, administrators can also embed these two-dimensional images into any web applications and create mashups with information obtained from external databases, tables, and other data sources.
