An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet Protocol technologies
to securely share any part of an organization's information or operational systems
within that organization.
The term is used in contrast to internet, a network between organizations, and instead
refers to a network within an organization. Sometimes the term refers only to the
organization's internal website, but may be a more extensive part of the organization's
information technology infrastructure.
It may host multiple private websites and constitute an important component and
focal point of internal communication and collaboration.
An intranet is built from the same concepts and technologies used for the Internet,
such as client-server computing and the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP).
Any of the well known Internet protocols may be found in an intranet, such as HTTP
(web services), SMTP (e-mail), and FTP (file transfer).
Internet technologies are often deployed to provide modern interfaces to legacy
information systems hosting corporate data. An intranet can be understood as a private
version of the Internet, or as a private extension of the Internet confined to an
organization.
