IBM Network Station Series 1000

The IBM Network Station is a compact desktop network computer that offers low-cost
network computing. It does this by taking advantage of leading-edge application technologies
like corporate intranets, the Internet, and Java, while benefiting from the simplicity and cost
effectiveness of non-programmable terminals.
The small logic unit (1.8 lbs/0.8 Kg) is supplied with base memory (expandable to 64 MB),
1 MB of video memory (expandable to 2 MB), mouse, standard 102-character PC keyboard,
power unit and cable, and monitor support for VGA/SVGA monitors (which are orderable
separately). The keyboard shipped with the Network Station includes the euro currency
symbol.
IBM Network Stations are best suited for such situations that include:
• Users need multi-system sign-ons
• Green-screen applications exist but there is a requirement for intranet capability
• Back office clerical applications
• Areas using secure data that is best held centrally on a server rather than on individual
PCs
• Green screens and old PCs are being replaced where terminal emulation is the prime
use
IBM Network Stations comply with the U.S. EPA "Energy Star" program for energy efficient
office technology.
