Software suite

The IBM NetVista Software Suite was introduced in April 1996 as a client–server software suite, with the server software running on OS/2, and the client software on Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Meant to provide Internet access to K-12 users, it included such things as a web browser, nanny software and other internet utilities, including a TCP/IP stack.[1]

Starting with version 1.1, the server side was also supported on Windows NT. The software suite was withdrawn without replacement in January 2000.

Products:

Network station

In April 2000, the IBM Network Station product line was renamed to IBM NetVista, as were the associated software tools. The NetVista computers were thin client systems. The line was withdrawn in April 2002 with no replacement.

Personal computer

The IBM NetVista personal computer was the follow-on to the IBM PC Series. It was announced in May 2000 along the ThinkPad T and A series. The line was withdrawn in May 2004 and was replaced by the ThinkCentre.

Earlier NetVista models were initially offered in the typical white/beige cases of the 1990s as with the previous IBM PC Series and the IBM Aptiva. The later NetVista models would be sold in the long-running black cases later on in 2001, starting with the NetVista A21 models and then spreading out into other models in later years. These black case designs were inherited by its successor, the ThinkCentre.
