I knew that someone would ask for a name on this.  

I don't have a name, but it first came up on an IBM
web deployment Web Cast a few years back.  In the web
cast, the deployment server was mentioned as any
server that would run Websphere, this included a
Windows solution.  The web cast didn't push iSeries
over any other platform.

I also have gotten somewhat of the response with
business partners and with a couple of IBM'ers at a
some web-enablement Seminars. Not that they are
advocating Microsoft over IBM, but that I need
something to separate the Data from the logic. And
their response was somewhat Vendor Neutral on what
server runs Websphere. 

In all accounts, I am left with the impression that if
I run Websphere on the same box as my data, than I'm
possibly setting myself up for future security
problems.
