Intranets

Using internet technology, corporations are building company wide intranets which are accessible only to their employees and other invited users. Intranets are used not only for posting documents within an organization But also for linking software, databases, and hardware into a universal network.
These private intranets share the same software and hardware as internet and speak the same language, But they are fenced off from others on the internet by defensive barriers called FIREWALLS

Popularity of Intranets:

  1. The resources on the intranet are accessible to anyone, anywhere as long as they have a computer, a modem, and a password.
  2. Complex data and applications can be used over the intranet with ease.
  3. Learning to use an intranet is simple. If you know how to use the web, you know how to use an intranet.
  4. Costs are lower because so much software and so many connections are available from so many sources.
