The Operational Data Plane is dedicated to supporting real-time data processing and low-latency access to transactional and critical operational data across an organization. This plane integrates diverse data sources such as relational and non-relational database management services, as well as Line-of-Business (LOB) or Community-of-Interest (COI) systems—specialized applications crucial for running core enterprise functions. LOB/COI systems typically serve specific business needs or customer-facing transactions, often featuring tightly integrated capabilities connected to databases and managed through database management systems (DBMS). Examples include ERP systems, CRM platforms, and supply chain management solutions that require rapid data retrieval and update capabilities.
