Understanding The Differences

Introduction

Hey guys, welcome to this week's Ask Neadom. This week, we're going to take a look at the difference between the internet and the intranet. Stay tuned, and we'll go right over it.

Definitions

Internet: Definition.com refers to "inter" as a common prefix that means "between" or "among" groups. For example, like interstate highways that go all across America, the internet goes across the entire world.

Intranet: Dictionary.com defines "intra" as meaning "within." For example, introverted means somebody who stays within themselves.

Differences

Internet: The internet goes around the world. Think of it as websites like Amazon.com or Google. The internet includes not just websites but other services like Google Maps, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, publicly available information, and databases like Ancestry.com. You can access these services wherever you are in the world.

Intranet: The intranet is within an organization. Many organizations have intranets for internal use. This may include SharePoint sites used internally within Office 365. The intranet is only available within your organization. It can include company directories with pictures, photos from events, files, and resources for employees. The intranet brings your company together and consolidates data into one spot.

Conclusion

In summary, the internet is global, while the intranet is internal to an organization. If you have any questions about whether you need an intranet in your company, give us a call at Kotori Technologies. Visit us at www.kotoritechnologies.com. We'll see you real soon. Take care, guys.
