Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented system comprising:
one or more storage devices; and
a processor that monitors demand levels for access to items, wherein each of the items has an associated inventory count in a database stored in a physical storage of the one or more storage devices, the physical storage divided into data blocks that store the inventory counts, by monitoring lock events and unlock events for the data blocks which store the inventory counts,
determines based on the demand levels an item of the items for which to isolate the inventory count associated with the determined item by determining, based on the lock events and unlock events, that the first block, which stores the inventory count associated with the determined item, is subject to a number of parallel locks greater than a threshold, and
isolates the inventory count associated with the determined item by moving the inventory count associated with the determined item from a first data block, of the physical storage, that stores the inventory count associated with the determined item and inventory counts associated with others of the items to a second data block, of the physical storage, that does not store any other inventory counts.
