Student responses will vary, but should be drawn from the following information from the text. Recognizing the efficiency and power of the Internet, many organizations apply Internet and web technologies to their internal networks. An intranet (intra means within) is an internal network that uses Internet technologies. Intranets generally make company information accessible to employees and facilitate collaboration within an organization. One or more servers on an intranet host an organization's internal webpages, applications, email messages, files, and more. Users locate information, access resources, and update content on an intranet using methods similar to those used on the Internet. The difference is that the host name of the intranet server differs from the host name of the company's public web server (recall that the host name of public web servers often is www). Sometimes a company uses an extranet, which allows customers or suppliers to access part of its intranet. Package shipping companies, for example, allow customers to access their intranet via an extranet to print air bills, schedule pickups, and track shipped packages as the packages travel to their destinations.
