I have some examples. Like RabbitMQ is a message-oriented system, it's implemented in Erlang and throughput is really good (according to its web site). Another example is Yawn, an HTTP server written in Erlang as well. It can be handling a number of concurrent connections more than Apache.
So the nature of Erlang is for writing highly scalable servers, and we need a simpler programming model (C/Java/Ruby/Groovy) as the front APIs. Not sure if this can answer your question.
