| From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
|
extranet onto the {Internet}, e.g. to allow selected customers, suppliers and mobile workers to access the company's private data and applications via the {World-Wide Web}. This is in contrast to, and usually in addition to, the company's public {web site} which is accessible to everyone. The difference can be somewhat blurred but generally an extranet implies real-time access through a {firewall} of some kind. Such facilities require very careful attention to security but are becoming an increasingly important means of delivering services and communicating efficiently. [Did {Marc Andreessen} invent the term in September 1996?] (1997-12-17) | |
