    An Intranet system
  3. C
    A Business-to-Consumer (B2C) storefront
  4. D
    An Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) terminal

Cevap

An Extranet platform provides controlled, secure internet access to internal business databases for external corporate stakeholders and commercial clients.
An Extranet extends an enterprise's private intranet infrastructure to authorized external stakeholders—such as wholesale clients, distributors, and suppliers—over the internet, allowing shared access to order management and inventory data while maintaining security boundaries.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the business communication requirements in the scenario
The firm requires secure internet transmission connecting the business to external partners (hospitals and foreign manufacturers) for database and order processing access.
Identifying the target user group (external commercial partners) isolates the required network architecture.
2
Distinguish between private network boundaries (Intranet vs Extranet)
An Intranet serves internal staff only, whereas extending controlled parts of the internal database to authorized external parties forms an Extranet.
Extranets utilize firewall configurations and secure authentication to bridge internal databases with external business entities.
