Whois & Analysis for liferay.com

Liferay Portal is a free and open source enterprise portal software product.

Distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License and optional commercial license, Liferay has been declared "Best Open Source Portal" by InfoWorld in 2007.

It is primarily used to power corporate intranets and extranets.

An intranet is a private network accessible only to an organization's staff.

Generally a wide range of information and services from the organization's internal IT systems are available that would not be available to the public from the Internet.

A company-wide intranet can constitute an important focal point of internal communication and collaboration, and provide a single starting point to access internal and external resources.

In its simplest form an intranet is established with the technologies for local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs).

Computer software, or simply software, is that part of a computer system that consists of data or computer instructions, in contrast to the physical hardware from which the system is built.

In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs and data.

Computer software includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data, such as online documentation or digital media.

Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used on its own.

A website is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server.

A website may be accessible via a public Internet Protocol (IP) network, such as the Internet, or a private local area network (LAN), by referencing a uniform resource locator (URL) that identifies the site.

A Web portal is most often a specially designed web site that brings information together from diverse sources in a uniform way.

Usually, each information source gets its dedicated area on the page for displaying information (a portlet); often, the user can configure which ones to display.

Variants of portals include mashups and intranet "dashboards" for executives and managers.

The extent to which content is displayed in a "uniform way" may depend on the intended user and the intended purpose, as well as the diversity of the content.

Very often design emphasis is on a certain "metaphor" for configuring and customizing the presentation of the content and the chosen implementation framework and/or code libraries.

In addition, the role of the user in an organization may determine which content can be added to the portal or deleted from the portal configuration.
