Intranet


 * Intranet **

An Intranet is a secure computer network, designed to work within one organization rather than sharing documents with the entire world web. It is roughly a private version of the internet, but only stores data relating to the business where many internet features are still included such as HTTP or email. Intranets are secured by firewalls and may use private IP ranges.

One example is the schools Intranet which is custom built to keep track of students, store private documents and provide educational information while protecting the network from outside threats in the open internet.
