Abstract :
Businesses usually adopt a common sense approach when it comes to spending the IT budget with cost being a major influence in purchasing decisions. However, when it comes to choosing a mail server, many businesses seem to pay less attention to the costs and, as a result, end up spending far more money than is necessary.
Today, email is absolutely mission-critical. Communication and collaboration keep your business running. Email and electronically enabled collaboration have become so embedded in normal day-to-day operations that many businesses simply could not function without them. Many businesses, however, have found that the cost of providing employees with the latest in messaging and collaboration technology is rapidly escalating. To meet modern business needs, mail servers have had to become more complex – and with that additional complexity come additional management burdens and costs. Furthermore, some mail servers have an upgrade process that is both extremely complex and extremely costly and which may necessitate the purchase of replacement server hardware. Combined, these factors place a considerable drain on corporate resources. The problem is especially severe for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) which usually do not have access to the same financial or technical resources as large enterprises.
Mail Server Is An Application Program That Sends Electronic Message From One Computer To Another. We Will be developing our Project To Keep In Mind the Problem of Organization and also We Will Try To Minimize Cost for Organization.
Problem Definition :
Today Many Organizations Want To Increase Profit By Cutting Cost Spend On The Infrastructure There Are Using. There Are Ready To Invest Money In Project Which Is Cost Saving. Organization Running Intranet Usually Used Email Server To Send And Receive Email and Attachment. Our Goal Is To Minimize The Cost Of Email Server To Help Organization To Increase Profit By Eliminating The Use Of Database.
From Last Many Year There was No Perfect Live Chat Application for LAN because of which it was difficult to communicate with other person on a network but now after the development of this application we assure that from now communication on the Intranet will be as simple as it can be. So we felt the importance of this application in our project.
Project Plan:
Our Plan is To Create Project Based On Communication and Networking. Based On These Theme We Will Be Implementing
• Mail Server
• Intranet
• Live Chat
Mail Server:
Mail Server Is An Application That Sends Electronic Messages (Email) From One Computer To Another Computer. The Format Of Email messages is Defined in RFC 822 Which is Defacto Standard For The Email.
SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol:
Within The Intranet, E –mail Is Delivered by Having the Source Machine Establish a TCP Connection to Port 25 of the Destination Machine. SMTP is a simple ASCII Protocol in which one of The recipient of Message are Specified along with the message text. The Message is then Transferred to a Remote Server using a Procedure of Queries and Responses Between The Client and Server.
SMTP Protocol Requires Only 7 Bit ASCII Code For Email Messages. Internationalization Of the Mail Message Is Not Supported In SMTP as Its Limited to 7 Bits. For 8 bit Ascii Some Latin Codes and Special Character
Are Supported
An e-mail client requires the name or the IP address of an SMTP server as part of its configuration. The server will deliver messages on behalf of the user. This setting allows for various policies and network designs.After establishing a connection between the sender (the client) and the receiver (the server), the following is a valid SMTP session. In the following conversation, everything sent by the client is prefixed here with "C: “and everything sent by the server with "S: "; this prefix is not part of the conversation.
Intranet:
It's one of those terms that's more thrown around than understood, and has become more of a buzzword than a
commonly understood idea. Simply put, an intranet is a private network with Internet technology used as the
underlying architecture. An intranet is built using the Internet's TCP/IP protocols for communications. TCP/IP
protocols can be run on many hardware platforms and cabling schemes. The underlying hardware is not what makes an intranet-it's the software protocols that matter. Intranets can co-exist with other local area networking technology. In many companies, existing "legacy systems" including mainframes, Novell networks, minicomputers, and various databases, are being integrated into an intranet. A wide variety of tools allow this to happen. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting is often used to access legacy databases from an intranet.
Security systems separate an intranet from the Internet. A company's intranet is protected by firewalls-hardware and software combinations that allow only certain people to access the intranet for specific purposes.
Intranets can be used for anything that existing networks are used for-and more. The ease of publishing information on the World Wide Web has made them popular places for posting corporate information such as company news or company procedures. Corporate databases with easy-to-build frontends use the Web and programming languages such as Java.
An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet protocols and network connectivity to securely share any part of an organization's information or operational systems with its employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the organization's internal website, but often it is a more extensive part of the organization's computer infrastructure and private websites are an important component and focal point of internal communication and collaboration.
Benefits of intranets:
• Workforce productivity: Intranets can help users to locate and view information faster and use applications relevant to their roles and responsibilities. With the help of a web browser interface, users can access data held in any database the organization wants to make available, anytime and - subject to security provisions - from anywhere within the company workstations, increasing employees' ability to perform their jobs faster, more accurately, and with confidence that they have the right information. It also helps to improve the services provided to the users.
• Time: With intranets, organizations can make more information available to employees on a "pull" basis (i.e., employees can link to relevant information at a time which suits them) rather than being deluged indiscriminately by emails.
• Communication: Intranets can serve as powerful tools for communication within an organization, vertically and horizontally. From a communications standpoint, intranets are useful to communicate strategic initiatives that have a global reach throughout the organization. The type of information that can easily be conveyed is the purpose of the initiative and what the initiative is aiming to achieve, who is driving the initiative, results achieved to date, and who to speak to for more information. By providing this information on the intranet, staff have the opportunity to keep up-to-date with the strategic focus of the organization.
• Web publishing allows 'cumbersome' corporate knowledge to be maintained and easily accessed throughout the company using hypermedia and Web technologies. Examples include: employee manuals, benefits documents, company policies, business standards, newsfeeds, and even training, can be accessed using common Internet standards (Acrobat files, Flash files, CGI applications). Because each business unit can update the online copy of a document, the most recent version is always available to employees using the intranet.
