Intranet & Internet
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that
consist of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by broad array of electronic and optional networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as the inter –linked hypertext documents of the WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.
An INTRANET is a private computer network that uses Internet Protocol technologies to securely share any part of an organizations information or network operating system within that organization. The Term is used in contrast to internet, a network between organizations instead refer to a network within an organization. Sometimes the term refers only to the organizations internal website, but may be a more extensive part of organization’s information technology infrastructure. It may host multiple Private Websites and constitutes an important component and focal point
of internal communication and collaboration.
