Memory Utilization is High in a VM .

Hi

I had ran through a problem in a VM memory Utilization is showing High. When i checked through Vsphere chart memory counter it only showing 2 GB usage in active status and 16 GB in the consumed state. What does it means exactly . I had granted 16 GB memory for that particular VM. I have checked the memory utilization in the OS level and it is to the peak 98% not at all reducing.

I have tried reduce the utilization by stopping some services but no hope. Please help what we can do next for reducing this issue.

Thanks
