The big claim to fame for the IBM Z series is supporting hot failover so the workload will never go offline. For web tier or app tier, where you want to scale horizontally anyway, it's pointless overkill, but for relational databases that have a maximum of one write master, you could make the argument that it's valuable.
I'd be interested in reading the perspective of someone actually deploying it though.
