Intranet

The intranet is a networking platform primarily designed for employees. That said, it is considered to be the private network of an organization where employees can access network services. The intranet is not just a portal; instead, it is a network that consists of hardware and software too. To better understand it, consider the intranet as an organization's extended LAN, or MAN, or even WAN network. It consists of multiple cables, network devices such as switches, routers, microwave and satellite antennas, access points, servers, computers, and various applications. All that enables employees to communicate, develop content, collaborate in joint projects, and get the job done.
