| In recent years
we could notice the outstanding growth of the Internet as
well as the way new developments caused the number of users
to increase significantly. However, there is a segment of
the network market that has experienced an even more rapid
growth than did the Internet.
Companies have started to take advantage of the technologies
used in the Internet for its own internal use. These networks,
called Intranets, use programs based on the main concepts
of the Internet.
Basically, an intranet is the network of a company that can
be accessed worldwide by users with permissions and access
rights. It is important that the difference between a network
and an Intranet be understood.
A network often consists of several computers connected to
a server that is mainly used to have access to shared data
(known as client-server). On the other hand, a corporate Intranet
allows users to make use of both the web and the internet
technology to connect to other computers put at their disposal
by the company to that aim.
Moreover, users with remote access to the Intranet are able
to work with the same programs either at home or at the office.
Many companies use the Intranets, to publish both confidential
and public data so as to facilitate the communications between
the employees and managers of the company.
By this technology, the information that the company makes
available can be accessed, regardless where the data or the
end user is located.
It is a fast, secure and economical way to boost the company's
network. In a corporate Intranet, the main tool that will
be used is the browser. Other main tools may be pdf documents
(Acrobat) because of their high graphic quality and their
reduced size.
