Solaris has many enterprise-grade features that Linux and other UNIX or
UNIX-like OSes still lack. One that immediately comes to mind is the
ability to pause and encapsulate a process, move it to a different
computer, then continue running it. That's useful for load-balancing and
managing server cluster hardware and software.

There are plenty of documents online that document other unique features
of Solaris. You'll find that Sun's claim isn't completely unfounded.
