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.
