What is Intranet ?

Intranet An Intranet is a network based on the internet TCP/IP open standard. An intranet belongs to an organization, and is designed to be accessible only by the organization's members, employees, or others with authorization. An intranet's Web site looks and act just like other Web sites, but has a firewall surrounding it to fend off unauthorized users. Intranets are used to share information. Secure intranets are much less expensive to build and manage than private, proprietary-standard networks. A private network inside a company or organization that uses the same kinds of software that you would find on the public Internet, but that is only for internal use. Compare with extranet. A private space that gives employees in a company the ability to organize information, readily access that information, manage documents, share calendars and enable efficient collaboration, all in a familiar, browser-based environment. Because all your important business information resides in a central repository, it's available at any time, from anywhere in the world, using a simple web browser. Authorized users outside your company such as your remote workers, suppliers, partners or clients can also use it to collaborate, communicate and share business critical information. Many organizations discover other unique and creative uses for intranet technology to solve real business problems. |
