vSphere7 U2 new feature "Suspend to memory"

As I see one of the new vSphere7 u2 feature is suspend to memory it is an excellent feature. Does it work such as follow :

 for example I have 10vm with 10G memory (Total 100GB memory is using) now if I select this option due to quick boot
instead of migrate 10 vms will be suspend them to esxi host and we have just a short down time according to boot time esxi and after
boot esxi, vms will be automatically resume their process
Is that ok ?

 

Please mark helpful or correct if my answer resolved your issue.

Yes, that is how the feature works. The host has to support quickboot for this to be available. The suspend / resume time is also affected by the amount of VM memory / memory speed etc., we recommend you test the approximate time for the whole process with a similar workload before using it in production.
