As to the intended purpose: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/dell-vflash-feature-on-idrac "vFlash provides a custom deployment environment that allows for the automation of server configuration, scripts, and imaging. Multiple boot media disks are no longer required as you can now have them embedded on vFlash partitions"
You can keep your installation and diagnostic media (e.g. Dell Support Live Image) on it and forget about local media, virtual media and netboot environments. Very handy for remotely managing and supporting solitary servers over slow links. Worth the penny. The only downside I've seen is that the partition size is limited to 4GB while some full OS installation DVDs nowadays exceed that.
