Intranet Overview

Intranet

内部网被定义为组织内部拥有其自身服务器和防火墙的计算机专用网络。此外,我们可以将内部网定义为:

Intranet is defined as private network of computers within an organization with its own server and firewall. Moreover we can define Intranet as:

  1. Intranet is system in which multiple PCs are networked to be connected to each other. PCs in intranet are not available to the world outside of the intranet.

  2. Usually each company or organization has their own Intranet network and members/employees of that company can access the computers in their intranet.

  3. Every computer in internet is identified by a unique IP address.

  4. Each computer in Intranet is also identified by a IP Address, which is unique among the computers in that Intranet.

员工可以使用浏览器查看数据和其他文档,而不是打印它们并在员工中分发副本,这肯定会降低成本。

Employees can see the data and other documents using browser rather than printing them and distributing duplicate copies among the employees, which certainly decreases the cost.

Workforce Productivity

数据随时可用,并且可以使用公司工作站进行访问。这有助于员工更快地工作。

Data is available at every time and can be accessed using company workstation. This helps the employees work faster.

Business Management

也可以部署支持业务运营的应用程序。

It is also possible to deploy applications that support business operations.

Security

由于 Intranet 上共享的信息只能在一个组织内访问,因此几乎没有被盗的可能。

Since information shared on intranet can only be accessed within an organization, therefore there is almost no chance of being theft.

Specific Users

Intranet 仅针对组织内的特定用户,因此可以准确地知道与谁进行交互。

Intranet targets only specific users within an organization therefore, once can exactly know whom he is interacting.

Immediate Updates

对信息进行的任何更改都会立即反映给所有用户。

Any changes made to information are reflected immediately to all the users.

Applications of Intranet

Intranet 应用程序与 Internet 应用程序相同。Intranet 应用程序也可以通过 Web 浏览器访问。唯一区别在于,Intranet 应用程序驻留在本地服务器上,而 Internet 应用程序驻留在远程服务器上。在这里,我们讨论了其中一些应用程序:

Intranet applications are same as that of Internet applications. Intranet applications are also accessed through a web browser. The only difference is that, Intranet applications reside on local server while Internet applications reside on remote server. Here, we’ve discussed some of these applications:

internet intranet applications

Document publication applications

文档发布应用程序允许发布文档,如手册、软件指南、员工利润等,而无需使用纸张。

Document publication applications allow publishing documents such as manuals, software guide, employee profits etc without use of paper.

Electronic resources applications

它提供电子资源,如软件应用程序、模板和工具,以便在网络上共享。

与 Internet 一样,我们有类似 Intranet 的电子邮件和聊天应用程序,因此在员工之间提供交互式通信。

Like on internet, we have e-mail and chat like applications for Intranet, hence offering an interactive communication among employees.

Support for Internet Applications

Intranet 提供了一个在将应用程序放在 Internet 上之前部署和测试应用程序的环境。

Intranet offers an environment to deploy and test applications before placing them on Internet.

How does the Intranet Work?

内部网的工作取决于连接到其网络的不同组件。它基于客户端-服务器架构工作。下面提到的下图说明了它的工作原理。

The working of an Intranet depends on different components attached to its network. It works on client-server-based architecture. The below-mentioned diagram below describes its working.

Client

PC1、PC2 和高达 PCn 是组织的不同用户;这些可以被视为向服务器发送请求的公司员工。

PC1, PC2 and up to PCn are the different users of an organisation; these can considered as employees of the company who send requests to the server.
