Web 3D GIS solution

Question

I want to find a web 3d gis solution which provides:

• server software to store and serve terrain and 3d models
• a plugin to display on browsers
• javascript api to interact with the plugin
• deploy on intranet (server and clients do not have to connect to internet)

It seems that Google Earth Enterprise provides those features. I heard that the license was very expensive. I want to confirm that but when I contact their sales, the reply is not from a human...

You can try ArcGIS. The version 10.4 and 4.1 javascript API is available for 3D models display in browser. You can go through the link as below. The ArcGIS server license is expensive too. You can try arcgisonline account and it is charged according credits. You can upload your GIS data on arcgisonline service and using dashboard tools to publish customized website.
