The document contrasts the internet, a large, publicly accessible network of interconnected smaller networks, with an intranet, a private network restricted to authorized users. The internet allows anyone to access a wide variety of content and services, while an intranet focuses on facilitating communication and productivity within an organization. Key differences include accessibility and intended use, with the intranet serving as a secure platform for company-specific interactions.

1. Internet vs. Intranet

2. What is the Internet?
Just like two humans can talk to each other, two or
more computers can communicate.
When computers communicate, they create a network
Tons of effort by many engineers has gone into creating
the Internet as we know it today

3. To build a really big network, you build
lots of little networks and then hook
the networks to each other, creating an
internetwork. That’s all the Internet
really is: the world’s largest
internetwork (hence its name).
- Ned Snell

4. In short, anything we want!
• Read a blog
• Watch cat videos
• Listen to Gangman Style
• Share pictures of that beautiful landscape
• Talk with your friends until you fall asleep
• Learn how to print “Hello World”
• Manage a company while in pajamas at home
What can we do with the Internet?

5. Yeah! Why not?
1. Create a website
2. Add a database with your company’s data
3. Tell your employees how to use
4. Now everyone has access to it 24/7
wherever they are.
Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?
Manage an
organization?
Is it that simple?

6. Hold on for a second
Quick question:
Is it a good idea to have all
this information available
to literally anyone?

7. So, what is an Intranet?
An Intranet is a private network where employees can
access information from the company, share updates
with co-workers, have online meetings and
collaborate to produce value for the company
Here is where an Intranet can help us

8. How does an Intranet work?
• Some Intranets are local networks and can be accessed only from the
office using equipment provided by the company.
• Others are hosted on the Internet and can be accessed from anywhere.
• In any case, they implement authentication to ensure only employees can
enter.
• They also have different levels of access so that employees can only see
information relevant to their work.

9. Summary
Internet
• It is a large network made of many
smaller networks.
• Anyone can access to it.
• It has many functions
Intranet
• It is a private network
• Only authorized users can enter
• Its main purpose is to help an
organization to be more productive
