The Differences Between Intranet, Internet and Extranet

Internet

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks. It is not controlled by a central entity and therefore relies on network devices and accepted conventions and protocols to relay the data traffic until it gets to its destinations. Some countries have imposed rules to censor or otherwise control what kind of content is accessible by its citizen (i.e. China). However, except for the management of Internet Protocol addresses and the Domain Name System by ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the Internet remains unregulated and uncensored.
The beginnings of the Internet can be traced back to the 1960s when the United States funded research by its military agencies to develop a fault-tolerant and robust distributed network of computers. The Internet is now global and in theory can be accessed by anyone who can get access from an Internet service
provider. Read more:

Intranet

On the other hand, an intranet is a private network that is setup and controlled by an organization to encourage interaction among its members, to improve efficiency and to share information, among other things. Information and resources that are shared on an intranet might include: organizational policies and procedures, announcements, information about new products, and confidential data of strategic value.
An intranet is a restricted-access network that works much like the Internet, but is isolated from it. As is the case with the Internet, an intranet is based on TCP/IP protocols. Therefore, a web page in an intranet may look and act just like any other webpage on the Internet, but access is restricted to authorized persons and devices. In some cases, access to an intranet is restricted by not connecting it to other networks, but in other cases a firewall is used to deny access to unauthorized entities.
The difference between an intranet and the Internet is defined in terms of accessibility, size and control. Unless content filters are being used or the government is censoring content, all the Internet’s content is accessible to everyone. On the other hand an intranet is owned and controlled by a single organization that decides which members are allowed access to certain parts of the intranet. In general, an intranet is usually very small and is restricted to the premises of a single organization

Extranet

An extranet is an extended intranet. In addition to allowing access to members of an organization, an extranet uses firewalls, access profiles, and privacy protocols to allow access to users from outside the organization. In essence, an extranet is a private network that uses Internet protocols and public networks to securely share resources with customers, suppliers, vendors, partners, or other businesses.
Both intranets and extranets are owned, operated and controlled by one organization. However, the difference between intranets and extranets is defined in terms of who has access to the private network and the geographical reach of that network. Intranets allow only members of the organization to access the network, while an extranet allows persons from outside the organization (i.e. business partners and customers) to access the network. Usually, network access is managed through the administration of usernames and passwords, which are also used to determine which parts of the extranet a particular user can access

What is an IP address??

Every device connected to the public Internet is assigned a unique number known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP addresses consist of four numbers separated by periods (also called a 'dotted-quad') and look something like 127.0.0.1.
Since these numbers are usually assigned to internet service providers within region-based blocks, an IP address can often be used to identify the region or country from which a computer is connecting to the Internet. An IP address can sometimes be used to show the user's
general location.
Because the numbers may be tedious to deal with, an IP address may also be assigned to a Host name, which is sometimes easier to remember.
Hostnames may be looked up to find IP addresses, and vice-versa. At one time ISPs issued one IP address to each user. These are called static IP addresses. Because there is a limited number of IP addresses and with increased usage of the internet ISPs now issue IP addresses in a dynamic fashion out of a pool of IP addresses (Using DHCP). These are referred to as dynamic IP addresses. This also limits the ability of the user to host websites, mail servers, ftp servers, etc. In addition to users connecting to the internet, with virtual hosting, a single machine can act like multiple machines (with multiple domain names and IP addresses).

Cable Colour Codes

These colour codes are offered as guidance in allocating circuits and investigating existing installations. Many installers abbreviate colours to their initial and last letters – Bk for Black, Bn for Brown. An alternative is to use the initial letter, but to avoid duplication, under this system Black is K, Brown is N and Grey is S (for Slate). BBC designed cables usually use Slate instead of Grey, but as the two colours are very similar, and are never both used in the same cable, they are effectively interchangeable. The BBC colour codes are explained in ED122 Guide to Wiring (stock code 0446493).

Where two colours are shown separated by a hyphen, the first colour is the primary colour, usually the base colour, with the second (and third where appropriate) applied as thin bands or stripes. Occasionally cables are manufactured with less of the primary colour showing than the secondary colour (sometimes within the same cable) but this should not lead to confusion. In the CW1308 standard the primary/secondary colours are rigidly defined, and the primary colour (shown in capitals) is always the base colour.

Multipair cables have repeated solid colours as primaries, and the pair number is identified by the colour of the other half of the twisted pair – care should be taken when preparing these cables to ensure the correct pairing is maintained.

























Crossover Cable
Sometimes you will use crossover cable, it's usually used to connect same type of devices. A crossover cable can be used to:
1) Connect 2 computers directly.
2) Connect a router's LAN port to a switch/hub's normal port. (normally used for expanding network)
3) Connect 2 switches/hubs by using normal port in both switches/hubs.
In you need to check how crossover cable looks like, both side (side A and side B) of cable have wire arrangement with following different color .





Straight Cable
You usually use straight cable to connect different type of devices. This type of cable will be used most of the time and can be used to:
1) Connect a computer to a switch/hub's normal port.
2) Connect a computer to a cable/DSL modem's LAN port. 3) Connect a router's WAN port to a cable/DSL modem's LAN port. 4) Connect a router's LAN port to a switch/hub's uplink port. (normally used for expanding network) 5) Connect 2 switches/hubs with one of the switch/hub using an uplink port and the other one using normal port.

If you need to check how straight cable looks like, it's easy. Both side (side A and side B) of cable have wire arrangement with same color.

Multimedia Development Services [Top-7 Multimedia Services to Generate Interest]

Multimedia services from NetCentric provide enhanced communications, better interest and awareness, and can often even reduce operating costs. From Flash presentations that breath life into your message, to email branding, to web teleconferences, NetCentric has an offering to fit your needs and budget. Below are some unique examples of how you can use multimedia to grow your business.


Talking Web Sites
This technology puts audio 'snippets' on your web site to greet visitors, explain products and services, enhance accessibility, and encourage commerce. A combination of streaming audio and Flash, 'play buttons' will please your web visitors with a new dimension in interactivity.


Animated Web Presentations
Your message can be communicated more effectively with an animated presentation containing animated graphics, photography, audio, and video. This technology presents a most compelling message, explains better than static images and text, and can allow for the viewer to interact. Use for demonstrations, company introductions, product launches, and more.


Email Branding & Advertising
Establish yourself as an expert in your industry with multimedia email messages. This technology relies on the strengths of HTML email, and either proprietary or Flash technology, to deliver compelling and interactive multimedia email messages. May contain web content, audio, video, and animation.


Virtual Tours & Walk-throughs
This technology turns digital photographs, panoramas, videos and audio files into interactive streaming multimedia presentations and virtual tours. Featuring 360-degree tours, rotatable 3-D graphics, walk-throughs, and more, this technology is great for travel agencies, realtors, and manufacturers. Your visitors truly benefit from an intense graphic experience.


Streaming Audio & Video
For web site or CD-based presentation where static web pages just won't do, supplement it with streaming audio and video. Because the media is 'streamed' (fed to the visitor in small portions), it is usable by those with even the slowest Internet connections. From music to speeches, streaming media will create interest and keep your visitors attention. This particular sample is not actually streamed. Video courtesy of John West Salmon.

Multimedia Games
One of the most unique ways to generate interest, traffic, and a memorable experience for your web site visitors is with an online game. Custom games are a fun way to deliver your message, establish your brand, and keep visitors interested and on-site.

E-Conferences, Meetings, Seminars, and Training
Learn how you can communicate better internally and externally, and save considerable costs on meetings, training, and support. Take the next leap in multimedia communications.

A Simple Multimedia Definition
Multimedia Design is a way of communicating a concept or information via a website, CD-ROM, kiosk, usually in an interactive form. Television uses multimedia specialists in the non interactive form. Many different varieties of media and techniques are used in production. As a multimedia professional you will be skilled in manipulating images and information from a variety of sources including audio, video, still images, animation, physical objects, text, soundtracks and digital data using computer applications and related visual and sound techniques. Let's take a closer look and compare the interactive vs the non interactive multimedia designer...


a) Interactive Multimedia Design:
This includes work on kiosks, interactive CDs or DVDs, and Web Design. Audio, Video, Animation, Photos and more can be elements in the overall design of the output. But it is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) that sets Interactive design apart from Audio Visual Design. There has to be some sort of navigation involved that gives the user the choice of which content they choose to access, and when. So as an Interactive Multimedia Specialist, it will be your job to make sure that all media elements tie in together effectively, AND the user can easily navigate to find the information that they seek through the Graphical User Interface.


b) Non Interactive:
This kind of work can be seen on non interactive output such as TV & the Internet. Commercials, websites using Flash intros, and movies are all examples of work that an Audio Visual Specialist might have his or her hands in.
Multimedia designers will often work with programs such as Adobe Premiere, Macromedia Director, Adobe Photoshop, and sometimes Microsoft PowerPoint for business presentations. On the Internet, it has become popular to use Macromedia Flash to present a multimedia experience in a quick downloading format.

What Kinds of Jobs are Available to Me With a Multimedia Design Degree?
As a successful graduate of a good multimedia program, you can apply for positions such as scriptwriter for multimedia, web designer, multimedia producer, computer-based training designer, web script language developer, and more. There are many entry-level career opportunities with corporations, organizations, educational institutions, government agencies, entertainment, and advertising industries. The types of industry sector offering work are broadening for two reasons: the cost of multimedia software and hardware is falling and multimedia communications using the web are becoming mainstream. The uses of multimedia are becoming more diverse from games, and entertainment to advertising, and training. The latest application is in mobile telephony.


What Do I Need to become a Multimedia Designer?
Your work will need to be accurate in fine detail; there is very little room for error. You will also need to be able to see 'the big picture' and have a feel for how a finished piece of work will appear and be used. You will need to be highly creative and a good communicator in order to express your ideas verbally and visually. You must be capable of working on your own as well as in a team. Many jobs require that you work to a deadline which may very well involve working late or at weekends occasionally in order to finish a piece on time. You need to demonstrate your understanding of the Arts, so a qualification in art or graphic design or similar would be useful. There is a plethora of software tools, which are available to a Multimedia Designer. Whilst you do not need to be fully conversant in all of them before the course, it would be a good idea to have at least a little training in some of them. Students who lack a sense of the aesthetic or who are not computer literate will struggle.
