firewall

in these days i'm reading about intrusion prevention/detection systems.When reading i really confused in some points.

First, the firewall and antivirus technologies are known terms for years, however now IDS becomes popular.

My question includes:

in organizational network architectures when/where do we use these systems ?
What are the benefits of using each ?
Does Firewall contains all these others?

If you give me some examples, it will help much.

Thanks.
