It's an application server (actually, a family of servers, but we're  
talking about the J2EE App Server) made by IBM, broadly competitive  
with Apache Tomcat and BEA WebLogic. Many enterprise apps require a  
J2EE server to run on, and pretty much all of those run on WebShere,  
particularly if you're in a Unix environment.

There's also a free (beer) community edition available.
