Hi Katherine -
WebSphere is one of the major players in the Application Server market. I
did a research study on app svrs last August and was surprised to find
about 18 products calling themselves app svrs. In the end, there were
really only 6 or 7 that could be called full-fledged app svrs. During that
study I found a couple of really good sites so am sending them to you.
Hopefully they will help. Alot of these sites have links to related places
where you can find more info.
This one does independent testing of many products, including some app
svrs. On the home page is a link to a place they describe as "The best
starting point in your search for an Application Server."

I'm sure you have this one (IBM WebSphere software site)
