New Hardware V6R1 question

[GKern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Our business partner asked us if we want Websphere installed on the new 
system. 

Currently the configuration files in question exist on our 170 but not our 
520. Our new system is a rack with three partitions.

As far as I know we aren't using Websphere for anything and I think what 
was installed on the 170 was done to support webfacing back when it first 
came out. We don't do any Webfacing or HATS stuff but Domino does run on 
the 170.

Is there any reason why we would want to install Websphere on the new 
system? Is it a pre-req for something of which I'm not aware? 

The product we received is 5722WE2, features 2101, 5902, and 2924.

I see one of the CD's is labeled Websphere Development Studio Client for 
iSeries (it's a DVD), and I'm not sure what this is as I also two disks 
labeled Rational Developer for i (V7.5).
