Summary:A method and a defragmentation module for defragmenting resources of a hardware system. The defragmentation module identifies a set of structures. Each structure of the set of structures partially hosts a respective set of host machines. Respective resources of each host machine of the respective set of host machines are allocated in at least two structures of the set of structures. The defragmentation module selects, from the respective resources of a host machine of the respective set of host machine, a remote resource of a first structure being different from a second structure partially hosting the host machine. A remote amount of the remote resource is less than an amount of available resources of the second structure. The defragmentation module assigns the remote amount of the available resources of the second structure to the host machine instead of the remote resource.
