Technology evolves at a rapid-fire pace. That’s why we’ve built an easy-to-use glossary to help you better understand the terms, technologies and trends that impact your business.

The worldwide network of networks connected to each other, through internetworking protocols. The Internet provides file transfer, remote login, e-mail, news and other services.
