The present invention creates and/or uses a 3D data center that mirrors physical operations that may not all be co-located in one physical space. The 3D data center can cluster geographically dispersed similar physical assets into one area of the 3D data center, e.g., all of a company's physical world wide mainframes on one virtual floor of the 3D data center. Human experts that reside anywhere geographically could enter the 3D data center, service, manage, monitor their physical machines and applications and/or train other individuals living in different geographical locations, or working for other companies.
