I find that it's a good fit for quite a few things, but if you're looking for a specific example: clustered Java application stacks, like ELK or Hadoop.

Zones, crossbow networking, SMF, and ZFS w/ BEs all working seamlessly together is a fantastic combination for easy-button admin of low- or zero-downtime clustered applications.
