The NetWare Enterprise Web Server is an HTTP server used to serve up Web
pages to the Internet, an intranet or extranet. It is optimized to run in the
NetWare environment and is a critical component to building One Net
solutions where all kinds of networks work together to achieve business
results.
You can create a Web to enhance departmental communication, or you can
create a Web that spans your location or company. You can also provide spaces
for your customers, suppliers, vendors, consultants, or any other entities
outside your company who would benefit by having access to specified areas
on your Web. In addition, you can publish information on the Internet so that
the world can see it and contribute to it.
There are traditional categories of Webs, each fulfilling a unique role. While
each Web type is unique in some way, each of them facilitates a single network
and the sharing of information.
The most popular of all Webs is the World Wide Web, available through
the Internet. Hosting a Web server with Internet access requires a
persistent Internet connection. In this environment, information
published to the Web server will be accessible by anyone with a browser.
Most companies host Internet Web sites to publish information about
their products or services and to provide a point of contact with
customers.
A firewall is required to provide security for Web servers with Internet
connections. A firewall prevents users on the Internet from accessing a
company's network-based resources.
