The memory used by the Parallels Desktop application will still be locked. Note: Only the amount of RAM used by the guest OS will be released. The released resources can then be used by the host computer and its applications or by other virtual machines running on the host computer. Pausing a virtual machine releases the resources, such as RAM and CPU, currently used by this virtual machine. To resume a suspended virtual machine, click the Resume button in the Parallels Desktop toolbar or choose Resume from the Virtual Machine menu.

When you suspend a virtual machine, you save its current state (including the state of all applications and processes running in the virtual machine) to a special file on your Mac. Suspending a virtual machine is similar to putting a real computer into the sleep mode. Instead of performing these operations, you can suspend or pause a virtual machine for the required time and quickly resume it later. Starting and shutting down virtual machines may take a considerable amount of time.
