5. INTRANET VS
INTERNET
INTRANET
Intranet is an internal private computer network or connection of one or more computer networks, whose use and access is restricted to an organization and its employees or members.
The structure of an intranet is similar in principle to the Internet. Both use a server-client structure and both networks transfer data using Internet protocols. However, they fundamentally differ due to the vast difference in networking scale and complexity.
An intranet is built in an organization, to enable resource sharing and provide a rapid communication channel that efficiently connects team members and peers. Corporate intranets have restricted access controlled by user ids and passwords, which are not accessible to anybody on the outside.
INTERNET
The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers).
Internet is a global network which has information sharing on a global level as its goal. Internet is more
open in the sense, that everything shared here, is accessible to every person connected to it, all over
the world.
