Army Knowledge Online Upgrades

Week of April 21, 2008

Army Knowledge Online (AKO), the U.S. Army's enterprise portal and the world's largest intranet, is gearing up to support as many as 2.5 million users by the end of April 2008. Implementation of AKO Forward and portal infrastructure upgrades, which supports Defense Knowledge Online (DKO), are part of the Defense Department's move toward joint net-centricity, designed to assist all servicemembers function in unison. AKO/DKO Forward was launched April 1 to enhance portal performance for forward-deployed users. Although most aspects of the AKO/DKO upgrade will have huge implications on the technical side, the average user will only notice small "look and feel" differences in the function of the portal. However, the portal should be easier to navigate and provide a more appealing user interface. For more information, visit the Army Knowledge Online (AKO) information webpage.
