WEB structure

The core structure of the Web is a Web server, it is generally assumed by a separate server, database server information management system database server, each client data requests submitted by the Web server to the database server, and then returned by the Web server issue the requesting client.

Here's a Web server can be set to a gateway, a termination intranet information management system, and the other end access to corporate Intranet, so both to avoid the internal network directly exposed to the outside, and make accessible to the internal Web site.
