Large scale infrastructure monitoring?
If you run a data center with 10K machines in it, whitebox monitoring of these machines and what runs on it generates tons of timestamped data.
These time series can be used to inform an automated alerting system (eg using trends to forecast bad things before they happen).
They can also be analyzed in batch mode to figure out how to optimize many things (power / cooling / workload assignment / etc ...)
