Abstract:
A computer system for interconnecting a development framework, for collaborating developers, with corporate wide area networks and the internet, comprising:(a) a firewall; (b) a development network for developing Internet applications, wherein the development network is implemented by a set of first developers and a set of second developers; (c) a first choke router, wherein the first choke router is situated between the development network and the firewall for providing security to the development network if the firewall is compromised; (d) an internet; (e) a first screening router, wherein the first screening router is situated between the internet and the firewall for providing security to the firewall from the internet; (f) a first wide area network, wherein the first wide area network contains resources usable by the set of first developers; (g) a second choke router, wherein the second choke router is situated between the first wide area network and the firewall for providing security to the first wide area network if the firewall is compromised, and wherein the firewall does not permit the first wide area network to communicate with the internet; (h) a second wide area network, wherein the second wide area network contains resources usable by the set of second developers; and (i) a second screening router, wherein the second screening router is situated between the second wide area network and the firewall for providing security to the firewall from the second wide area network.
