It is used for specially developed applications. LDS has its own configuration for Sites and Replication Tools such as ADSI edit, LDP and LDIFDE can be used.
Multiple instances can be installed on one server for different apps but keeping them seperate. Unlike AD DS which limited to one domain per domain controller.
