Many companies also host their own private intranets. The target
audience of an intranet is the employees. An intranet is the ideal
environment for employees and departments to publish information that
can benefit others in the company.
A company can host both Internet and intranet Web sites. Employees
inside the company can access both, while people outside the company
can’t get through the firewall to access the intranet.
An extranet is a combination of public and private Web sites. Extranets
are usually created among companies to expedite communication and
cooperation. For example, a company that relies on a vendor to fill its
orders could create an extranet to allow the vendor to access customer
orders. This way, the vendor could automatically fill orders without
having to wait for user intervention.

Apache Web Server for NetWare
Apache Web server is an open-source Web server originally developed by the
not-for-profit Apache Group. The Apache Web server is in use by more than
60% of all Web hosting companies. It is extremely stable and it’s free!
As an integral part of Novell Web Services, Apache is installed by default
during your NetWare 6 installation and you should not have to manage any
part of it. Apache is a critical component of NetWare Web Services and is used
by the following NetWare 6 Web-based services:
NetWare Web Manager
NetWare Web Search Manager
NetWare Web Search Print and Search Services
NetWare Web Access
iFolder
iManage
To host Web sites and Web applications, see “NetWare Enterprise Web
Server” on page 19. For additional information about the Apache Web server,
visit http://www.apache.org (http://www.apache.org), or refer to the Apache
documentation available on your server after NetWare 6 installation and
located at volume:\Apache\htdocs\manual.
