Solaris is still doing well, last version (11.1) was released last year.

I don't do Solaris projects since 2001, besides tweaking at home every now and then, but I would guess:

- ZFS

- containers

- DTrace

- The usual commercial UNIX stuff that is still being brought into Linux and BSD distributions, in terms of security and high availability

- Maintenance contracts (Oracle changed them though)

All the code that is using Solaris specific APIs, because like all standards, POSIX only covers partially what each UNIX system offers.
